After having Cywin on my systems for many years with no problems and in more recent years with Xampp, I now have a problem.
I think my Cygwin setup is hitting some limit within the Cygwin dll. Problem when starting an up to date cygwin session on XP:- <<-EOF 1 [main] bash 5372 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process trackerWin32 error 161 1 [main] bash 5760 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process trackerWin32 error 161 1 [main] bash 4428 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process trackerWin32 error 161 This is /etc/profile This is ~/.bash_profile Xp man ls 3 [main] sh 3952 C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe: *** fatal error - prefork: couldn't create pipe process trackerWin32 error 161 (END) EOF I am prity sure its not one of the very recently added Php apps, like Wordpress, as my bash.exe also hits the same problem with a simple `man ls` which I assume also performs a fork to present stdout. If I do a fresh rebuild - is there someway to adjust the inbuilt limits? . -- 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
