Forks paralysing the CYGWIN system...


Dear CYGWIN,

Thanks for your help the other day with the pinfo assert - the patch did the trick.

This problem is to do with widely discussed fork problem.

On this version of CYGWIN (CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 SERPENS 1.7.17s(0.262/5/3) 20120827 05:19:25 i686 Cygwin) the problem appears more prevalent (these are in close succession):

      2 [main] sh 9296 fork: child -1 - forked process 5912 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
1024286 [main] sh 9296 fork: child -1 - forked process 4588 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
      2 [main] sh 5288 fork: child -1 - forked process 12120 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
      2 [main] sh 11352 fork: child -1 - forked process 8160 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
      2 [main] sh 8040 fork: child -1 - forked process 13104 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable 8452210 [main] sh 11664 fork: child -1 - forked process 14760 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11
/cygdrive/c/Scripts/dpstatussession.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
9550959 [main] sh 11664 fork: child -1 - forked process 13908 died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code -1073741819, errno 11 When the system gets like this it is almost possible for it to function.

I have already tried the rebase operation to no effect. I've also reaffirmed  that the that antivrus (Symmantic Mcaffee) excludes all the Cygwin directories.

I'm aware of the technical challenges that remain around making the forks reliable around the x86/x8664 environments but can you suggest anything else to improve the situation.

BTW Can you tell me, what resource is that is that is unavailable in this case?

I attach the lastest cygcheck.out

Leon.
