RE: Please try the latest snapshot -- it is close to cygwin 1.5.6

I was running the open_posix_testsuite against the current "homebuilt"
cygwin1.dll but I get the same error if I use the new dll to build
itself. It only happens randomly to gcc.exe but it always errors at the
same location "0x61085fba". 

I run the testsuite when I built the dll which gives:

FAIL: msgtest.c (execute)
FAIL: semtest.c (execute)
FAIL: shmtest.c (execute)
FAIL: pthread/mainthreadexits.c (execute)


                === winsup Summary ===

# of expected passes            259
# of unexpected failures        4
# of expected failures          14

The pthread test is the only abnormal failure as I am not using the
cygserver. I looked at the mainthreadexits.c test and I was not sure if
the test was correct. So that's what lead me to try out the
open_posix_testsuite.

I am currently "Googling" for different debugging methods and
contemplating having a Xmas drink or two. I tried the
"how-to-debug-cygwin.txt" but GDB did not provide any useful
information. 

Sorry I am not more helpful. 

Merry Xmas to all. 

Trevor
