The build always hangs in compiling some .el file. CTRL-C does not work and I have to search the running processes with "ps" and kill them with 'kill -9'. Downgrading to 1.7.30, things work better. Now I am using 1.7.30...By better, do you mean 'perfectly'? It seems like it might be a little bit intermittent, from the reports I have seen. It's easy enough to do a cvs rdiff between the releases if 1.7.30 is known to be good - I am happy to help but I am unfamiliar with the code so I don't know where to start looking...It could be a problem with the new default pthread mutexes being NORMAL, rather then ERRORCHECK mutexes.
That does seem to be the problem, since I can reproduce the bug starting with the 2014-07-14 snapshot. More precisely, I can reproduce it using emacs-nox (which is what the OP was using according to his cygcheck output) but not using emacs-X11 or emacs-w32.
I tried running emacs under gdb with a breakpoint at call_process, but all I could see from that is that emacs tries to fork a subprocess, but the call to fork() never returns. I also tried running it under strace, but again all I can see is that fork() is called and then everything seems to be at a standstill.
Corinna, if you want to take a look, here's the precise recipe:1. emacs-nox -Q [This should start emacs and put you in the *scratch* buffer.]
2. Enter the following text into the buffer: (call-process "pwd" nil t) 3. Position the cursor at the end of the line and type Ctrl-j.What should happen, and what does happen prior to the 2014-07-14 snapshot, is that the current directory is displayed, followed by the exit code of 0. What happens instead is that emacs appears to hang.
