With cygwin 3.1.4, I get an "exception c0000005" when I perform the
following actions:
1. Use the Windows run box to start a cmd shell
2. From there, run "bash". (I'm sure it is the Cygwin bash.)
How did you make sure of that? The output of "where bash" might
surprise you. On this box, e.g., I have:
C:\Users\hbbro>where bash
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe
C:\Users\hbbro>bash
hbbro@NB5:/mnt/c/Users/hbbro$ uname -a
Linux NB5 4.4.0-18362-Microsoft #476-Microsoft Fri Nov 01 16:53:00 PST
2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But let's assume I did actually start Cygwin bash.
3. From there, run "mintty"
C:\Users\hbbro>\cygwin64\bin\bash
hbbro@NB5 /cygdrive/c/Users/hbbro
$ mintty
bash: mintty: command not found
So running "mintty" doesn't actually work at all. But let's assume I
start Mintty in a way that actually works in this context:
hbbro@NB5 /cygdrive/c/Users/hbbro
$ /usr/bin/mintty
Works just fine. Mintty starts up, all is fine.
