It is my understanding that this problem is not easily reproducible. Well, I've been reproducing it locally since last night. ?I'm going to try leaving every cygwin-related process as-is as long as necessary, in the hope of beating this problem into submission. The problem: $ ps ? ? ?PID ? ?PPID ? ?PGID ? ? WINPID ?TTY ?UID ? ?STIME COMMAND ... ? ? 4164 ? ?1288 ? ?7684 ? ? ? 5504 ? ?6 1003 23:49:20 <defunct> ? ? 5392 ? ?3224 ? ?5984 ? ? ? 6100 ? ?5 1003 23:49:06 <defunct> ? ? 1452 ? ?5240 ? ?5984 ? ? ? 8104 ? ?5 1003 23:49:06 <defunct> ? ? 5240 ? ?3224 ? ?5984 ? ? ? 4532 ? ?5 1003 23:49:06 <defunct> ... $ kill 4164 bash: kill: (4164) - No such process The PIDs seem to be the same every time this happens. ?Specifically, I have seen 5240 and 1452 every time. ?Whether that's significant, I don't know. They all seem to be child processes from a long-running gnuplot process which creates hundreds---often thousands---of graphs per session. ?They do not prevent gnuplot from completing. ?They do prevent me from opening some of the output files. ?Once I kill a process, its file lock is released, and so far all of the affected files seem to be just fine. If anyone would care to pursue this, I will be as helpful as I can.
