Cygwin 1.5.19 / sh.exe progressively drives a server to freeze ...

[Emmanuel Torre]

Follow-up :

On all the servers on which there is a freeze problems with Cygwin 
custom compiled programs, there is the Symantec Corporate Antivirus 
version 9.0.0.338.
bash scripts are running well with any AV version. The problem was 
concerning our cygwin based compiled programs that run bash scripts. As 
there is one additional process in the tree,
it seems to be a problem for some timeout  somewhere ... ?

When I uninstall this software, our Cygwin based programs are running 
well. But security officers want an AV to be installed on all the 
servers, even if they sometimes kill performance, so I reinstalled it 
with the new 10.0 version : and now it keeps working ! So, Symantec 
Corportate AV 10.0 can be a good workaround,

although having no AV is the best solution.

Hope it will helps somebody
Cheers

Emmanuel
