mini-announce: lynx 2.8.3r1 binaries (fwd)

[Sagar R. Shah]

Hi All

I'm forwarding this to the list as Robert didn't do a reply to all.

I'm not sure whether the problem is with lynx or cygwin.

Do other people think that the problem might be with the cygwin DLL?
Are there any known problems with select() ?

Thanks

Sagar

     As Murphy would have it,  I encountered a hang twice after I sent 
you mail.  When I tried to reproduce it with the same URLs, it was did 
fine and hasn't hung since.

     I tried to interrupt it with ^C and ^G, to no avail.  Eventually 
I killed it with breakin.exe, which has the added advantage of giving 
me a Dr. Watson log at the point of the hang.

     It looks like it was hung in select(), although which thread was 
active at the time of the forced breakpoint is not immediately 
apparent to me.  I kinda a suspect a Cygwin DLL problem rather than a 
Lynx build problem, but who knows?  I'm running cygwin1.dll 1.1.8 from 
2/1/01, BTW, other details attached.
