Cygwin worked well so far. However, starting with today, I get the following error - for example when invoking bash:
MUCNL3E6880:~ 2 23 $ bash --norc 163 [main] bash 5788 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1958 [main] bash 5788 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to bash.exe.stackdup When doing a zsh -f this works at first, but as soon as I do a man man in the shell, I get 9420794 [main] sh 8004 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=6102048B eax=009DD298 ebx=61246414 ecx=758E7B6E edx=003F51F8 esi=00000000 edi=0022FA10 ebp=61020C00 esp=0022C7E0 program=C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe, pid 8004, thread main cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args End of stack trace 9455844 [main] sh 5776 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 9458931 [main] sh 5776 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump 9487143 [main] sh 348 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 9490092 [main] sh 348 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump 9494562 [main] sh 1860 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initializatio n, retry 0, exit code 0x8B00, errno 11 sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable ... (and so on, in a endless loop). I wonder why zsh is invoking "sh.exe" implicitly, when I just call "man", but in any case the error message suggests that bash.exe / sh.exe is broken. I had run setup again yesterday evening, in order to install wcd (found in the util section). The setup run to the end without error message, and I switched off the PC. Today I found bash broken. Since wcd utility is an extension to the chdir command, it is conceivable that it fiddled around with bash somehow, but I consider it unlikely that this would cause the effect I am observing: Such an obvious bug would not have been unnoticed. I wonder whether there is an easy way to "repair" Cygwin (maybe a procedure to automatically re-install everything). I searched on the Net but didn't find anything in this direction. Any other idea what I could do?
