I'm on a brand new machine, there may be some kind of hardware / driver issues with it, but if so, only emacs is being affected. There is a minimal set of devices installed on the box, so no extra webcams or anything installed.


Has anyone else run into a problem with the latest cygwin.dll release and emacs?

Thanks again,

-Eric

Yes, I have experienced this same problem on a new installation of cygwin on my Thinkpad T60 (which does incidentally have a thumb-print reader, but that is neither here nor there) as well as on a Dell Optiplex 280.

Thanks for the response. I too am on some new Dell box, and can provide further hardware info if that seems necessary.

I have backed out to cygwin version 1.5.18, and I have not been able to
duplicate the emacs freeze (the emacs revision number remains the same).

Although I work full time as a software engineer, I have not ever attempted
to debug in the cygwin environment, and have never used gdb (afraid my
experience is limited to Windows and the MS IDE environment in recent
years).  However, I am willing to perform any tests that people feel would
be useful if, as seems at least possible, there is a problem with the 1.5.21
version of cygwin1.dll in conjunction with emacs.


Has anyone having this problem looked at whether it's related to previously
reported problems like:
