in reference to my earlier message
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-03/msg00048.html
and the following message
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-04/msg00152.html
I can state I am -not- having a "personal firewall problem". With the
help of 'Process Explorer' from sysinternals.com, I have been able to
determine it is caused by 'cat.exe' using >90% CPU.
I am disabling the keyboard extensions (see my earlier message).
The 'cat' command line is: C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe /home/martouf/.Xauthority
The hanging thread stack is:
ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet
ntdll.dll!LdrInitializeThunk+0x29
ntdll.dll!LdrFindResourceDirectory_U+0x276
ntdll.dll!RtlLookupElementGenericTable+0x185
ntdll.dll!RtlLookupElementGenericTable+0x80
ntdll.dll!KiUserApcDispatcher+0x7
If I just kill the 'cat' process, then X starts up and functions.
'cat' will spin away indefinitely.
hope this helps...
