Re: Call for testing Cygwin snapshot


I'm having three problems with the latest snapshot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With the 20051207 snapshot, I'm getting
recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed errors from XEmacs. To reproduce:

>From a CMD.EXE shell:

c:\cygwin\bin\bash -lc '/bin/xemacs -q'

Then, Alt-X "shell-command" "env"

This yields the following messages to the CMD.EXE shell. The "env"
command never succeeds.

     20 [main] xemacs 4148 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: ReadProcessMemory failed for MAP_PRIVATE address 0x1980000, Win32 error 998
c:\cygwin\bin\xemacs-21.4.18.exe (4148): *** recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed

I don't have this problem with the 20051130 snapshot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is also with XEmacs. I normally start XEmacs with the following
command from a CMD.EXE shell:

c:\cygwin\bin\bash -lc 'setsid xemacs &'

If you try that with 'setsid xemacs -q &' and then type

  Alt-X "grep" "grep -ni system /etc/passwd"

there is no result. Furthermore, typing in XEmacs yields red
squares. XEmacs is essentially useless and must be restarted.

I see this behavior with the 20051130 snapshot. It works with the
20051118 snapshot but pops a console window when running grep. It
works correctly with the 20051110 snapshot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 3:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>From a CMD.EXE shell:

c:\cygwin\rxvt -e /bin/bash -li
% ssh localhost

The command succeeds but opens a console window while the SSH
process is running.

The console window doesn't open if I start bash first:
c:\cygwin\bash -lc '/bin/rxvt -e /bin/bash -li'
% ssh localhost

The first command doesn't yield a console window with the 20051110
snapshot, but does with 20051118 and 20051130.

cygcheck output from the 20051207 snapshot is attached.

quit   When the quit statement is read, the  bc  processor
       is  terminated, regardless of where the quit state-
       ment is found.  For example, "if  (0  ==  1)  quit"
       will cause bc to terminate.
(Seen in the manpage for "bc". Note the "if" statement's logic)
