Cygwin 1.5.10: Possible bug

[Dave Neary]

Hi all,

I have come across a problem with cygwin (I think) which prevents it 
from being used to compile JNI bindings.

If I link any code to cygwin, and then try to load the resulting dll 
with System.loadLibrary, the JVM "gets stuck" and goes to 100% activity. 
Eventually, I kill it.

Previously, with 1.5.4, I had been able to do this OK, but when the 
resulting DLL was loaded in an applet (rather than directly into an 
application), I got a security exception (basically, a seg fault) in a 
call to getservbyname() (which was called with constant string arguments).

I have a simple test-case (a couple of java files, a couple of C files 
and a header, as well as an ant build-file and a html file for the 
applet) which can be used to reproduce the problem with Sun's 1.4.2 SDK. 
I haven't tested it with others.

Cheers,
Dave.
