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.
The machine is a windows 2000 with sp4. Dual processor at 933Mhz.
