Re: tcsh version 6.19.00-3 hangs on exit


I really appreciate your looking into this problem. I use the Cygwin64 Terminal icon to create one or more windows. I set my login shell to /bin/tcsh in /etc/passwd. As you suggested, I deleted ~/.logout, and do not have an /etc/csh.logout. I also deleted ~/.login, and reduced my (optional) ~/.cshrc to only the following two lines:

    set history=100
    set savehist=($history merge lock)

In this case (if I understand correctly) tcsh first sources /etc/csh.cshrc, then ~/.cshrc, then /etc/csh.login. The files /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login are as downloaded from one of the Cygwin x86_64 mirror sites, and are unchanged by me; only the optional file ~/.cshrc (above) has been added by me. Unfortunately, all mintty windows hang upon exit, and each must be killed (along with its associated tcsh) using the Windows Task Manager. C-Shell scripts started from the command line also hang upon exit (unless their first line contains the fast startup flag "-f"), and must be killed with Control-C. The mintty windows and the C-Shell scripts do not hang if the third word "lock" is removed from the setting of savehist in ~/.cshrc. I would like to use "lock" for the reasons mentioned in the tcsh man pages. Things seemed to work fine until a couple of weeks ago, when I updated my Cygwin system.
