Re: cygwin 1.7.5, perl *** fatal error TP_NUM_W_BUFS too smal

This looks like an internal error in Cygwin which runs out of TLS
filename buffers.  For a start, could you please strace the perl
process?  This may help to figure out the function in which the problem
occurs.

I tried doing


strace -o logfile make test

but the output was too large, and the make seems to become slower and slower, after the file got to be over 2 GB and still growing, I killed everything.

So, I tried this next:

edited the Makefile and added "-d" to the perl command in the Makefile, then typed

$ export PERLDB_OPTS="NonStop frame=2"
make test

This below is a small part of the screen output around the perl crash, may be this will help?

again, i am not familar with perl or debugging it, but will be happy to help, if you have some specific instructions I can try.
