I'm running Win2K and very recent full Cygwin install. I ran into this when I tried to install KDE, but it's not a KDE issue (I tried that list anyway to see if this had been seen). It involves XFree86, although I suspect it's not really an X issue, either.
When I replace the X library with one that uses SHM (and thus CygIPC), programs referencing that library fail to start. I get the following Windows dialog: <appname>.exe - Application Error --------------------------------- The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application [[ OK ]] At first, <appname> would be XWin whenever I tried to start X. However, vim would report the same failure if I tried to use my X-enabled version. I got this with two different versions of the modified X libs (kde-x-1.3.tar.bz2 and the 1.2 version also). Interestingly, after recompiling X myself with SHM, I could start vim. I still can't start X, although the <appname> reported is xinit, not XWin. If I go back to the original Cygwin libraries, X works. It's also worth noting that ipctest works, so ipc-daemon is able to do its thing. Is it possible that this is an aspect of the dreaded "rebase" issue? If so, I'd appreciate a pointer at the recommended procedure for rebasing everything that needs to be rebased (I've done it before, but rebase's parameters seem to have changed).
