1.5.25-11: Bash Fails after initial install on Windows 2008 Server

[Eric Berge]

I tried taking the latest snapshot and the failure still occurs.

I also tried an alternative system which was running the 64-bit
version of Win2008 and it failed in the same manner (so I've seen
it on separate systems and on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
Windows 2008).

Also I did something I should have some before, which was to run
bash under strace.  The output indicates bash is taking a SIGSEGV
if I'm reading this correctly.  This appears to occur immediately
after calling "stat_worker", presumably to do a "stat" on "\??\C:\cygwin\tmp".

The strace was from a 32-bit Win2008 box.  I got the same profile
in an strace from a 64-bit Win2008 box as well, although in that
case the path was the "Unix" form of "/tmp".

As before, any suggestions on how to take this analysis further are
greatly appreciated.

I agree, as I have been able to get a couple of other Win2008
boxes to work (one was a 32-bit Win2008 and the other 64-bit Win2008).
So the general capability is there, I expect I'm looking around for
an odd sensitivity here.

I'll give a try to a snapshot to see how that goes.

Also, if anyone has anything else I can do to help diagnose this
problem, please let me know what I should try.

Thanks,

Eric

That's really just a left over in cygcheck in the 1.5 branch.  After
all, the main purpose of the -11 release was to get Cygwin working on
Windows 2008.  I don't know what's causing the crash but it's not a
general inability of Cygwin 1.5.25-11 or -12 to run on 2008.
