the following shows a problem in Cygwin 1.7 that is not present in

As you see, the alarm() function is not invoked as it should (and as it
is in Cygwin 1.5).

It was invoked ony by coincidence in 1.5. It should be fixed in the next snapshot.

Thanks for the test case.

Dear Christopher,


Abramo Bagnara and myself have independently downloaded
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20081007.tar.bz2, unpacked it
over the root directory of two separate cygwin-1.7 installations,
recompiled the testcase, launched it, and alarm() is still not called.

Perhaps http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20081007.tar.bz2
is not what you meant by "the next snapshot"?
Thanks for your assistance.
All the best,

Roberto
