My favorite testcase (building OOo) started hanging again.

But now the *really* strange part begins: You can break the hang by doing
"ls /proc/3176/fd" !?
and the build continues (until the next hang).

Sorry, we're unable to create a reduced testcase but we thought the
strange symptoms might help pinpoint the problem.

Attached you also find the cygcheck output of that system.

I hope this helps a little bit,

Does sending a 'kill -CONT 3176' also unstick things? Both situations send a signal to the process.

How about attaching to the hung process with strace?  You didn't mention
that.

I don't have direct access to that system, but I will relay the question.


We'll also try to attach to the process.

(who deeply regrets ever trying to fix the windows 98 crash problem)
