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.

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


I got a little more useful output using this:


$export PERLDB_OPTS="NonStop AutoTrace frame=2"
$ make test >& out.txt

PERLDB_OPTS is only for the perl debugger, which you don't run I suppose.
Corinna wanted a strace for perl, around the section where the fork fails. It must not be the whole 2GB.


To build a debugging perl you'd need the source package and run
./build --debug
But this won't be needed I suppose, as it's a cygwin error around fork.

Looking at out.txt, the output around the crash is below. It seems to
come after exec($cmd). It looks like it can't spawn a new process.

btw, this is windows 7. new PC, 8 GM ram.

UAC already tried to disable?


If you need the complete file out.txt, I can send it to you directly.

thanks

263: carp qq{Debug (syswait): Running "$cmd"\n} if($Verbose);
265: my $status;
266: my $child_pid;
267: if ($child_pid = fork) {

You can try to add a small sleep here after line 267, the fork. sleep(0.2);

268: $status = waitpid($child_pid, 0);
######### Forked, but do not know how to create a new TTY. #########
Since two debuggers fight for the same TTY, input is severely entangled.

I know how to switch the output to a different window in xterms, OS/2
consoles, and Mac OS X Terminal.app only. For a manual switch, put the name
of the created TTY in $DB::fork_TTY, or define a function
DB::get_fork_TTY() returning this.

On UNIX-like systems one can get the name of a TTY for the given window
by typing tty, and disconnect the shell from TTY by sleep 1000000.

We haven't got this report, BTW.


Also, where do have your latex2html from?
