For some time now, I've been getting random crashes from different applications. Mostly, gvim, but zsh sometimes crashes too. In fact, I've got a zsh script that if I add a blank line in a particular place, it triggers a crash.
For zsh, it seems to happen fairly deterministically; if it's crashing, it keeps crashing. If I add an empty line in the right spot, it works and keeps working. For gvim, it seems to happen randomly; often times even if gvim starts successfully, it fails I assume after forking but before exec. I've pasted the error printed when it fails below. 0 [main] gvim 3008 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION *** starting debugger for pid 3008, tid 6748 Coredumps for both zsh and gvim can be found at http://files.eatnumber1.com/zsh.exe.core http://files.eatnumber1.com/gvim.exe.core These coredumps however weren't helpful to me. I've pasted my interaction with gdb below so you can see why. $ gdb -q -core gvim.exe.core [New process 1] [New process 0] [New process 0] #0 0x777efb8a in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0x777efb8a in ?? () (gdb) quit Any thoughts on how I can debug this problem? -- Russell Harmon -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
