So, please try a snapshot and report problems. Please indicate whether
the problem is a regression from 1.5.18 or previous snapshots and please
respond to this message when reporting a problem. Don't start a new
thread. Please always provide cygcheck output even if you think you've
already done it recently. Please provide exact details to duplicate a
problem - a simple program indicating the problem is ideal.

It's a rather difficult bug to reproduce, but I'm still seeing the hang up with the test_configure script. I seem to be getting it about once every 2000 iterations of the program. The thread where I mentioned this problem is http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/ msg00000.html
The script can be restarted by using the process.exe program (http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm) using the restart option.
When I run the test_configure script, after about 2000 iterations it will hang. If I do a ps -ef I can see several running sh commands from the script. I pick the one that doesn't have any children and cat /proc/<pid>/cmdline and it show <defunct>. Then I cat the winpid and use the process program to restart. This causes things to start running again.
Occasionally I will see that there is a child process (i.e. sort, not another sh) If I try to cat the cmdline the cat process seems to hang; I can only kill cat with the task manager. However, I can still cat the winpid and when I do the process restart, things start running again. This behavior is fairly new. I have noted that it was the 12/22/2005 snapshot. But I didn't try the 12/21, 12/20 or 12/19 snapshots.
