Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] CALL FOR TESTING: Cygwin 1.7.6 due soon - xterm stackdump - revised


UPDATE:
In my original post, I neglected to mention that I have also tried the current and
previous xterm packages (260-1 and 255-1 respectively) with no difference in
results.

Under 1.7.5-1 in Win 7 64-bit, attempting to launch an xterm results in a
stackdump approximately 30%-40% of the time.  However, under WinXP
I have not experienced this issue.

I applied the entire "cygwin-inst-20100622.tar.bz2" snapshot to my Win7
installation and the same condition exists.

Details:
======
uname -a:
--------
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 Win7i701 1.7.5s(0.227/5/3) 20100622 11:24:44 i686 Cygwin


The following are some results from failed attempts (note: all attempts are from the same
running xterm session and with successes before and after these failures):

In essence, I notice no difference with xterm behavior after applying the snapshot.
Is this a known condition with this OS? Is there a fix available?


Thank you!
Ken
