Re: bash died waiting for longjmp before initialization

[Ryan Johnson <ryanjohn at ece dot cmu dot edu>]

I haven't had bash crash on me, but I do get other fork-related errors 
on my win7-x64 system. You might try running the attached testcase (make 
&& ./fork) a few times to see if it reproduces the problem.

For me it usually complains about access violations during the fork and 
sometimes dies waiting for longjmp, with the culprit being two dlls 
which want to load at the same address.

The usual advice most likely applies: rebase your system (a workaround 
which usually prevents the condition that triggers the bug... until you 
run setup.exe again).

Regards,
Ryan
