Hi All,
One morning last week, after 11 months of flawless cygwin-ing, I was
suddenly unable to create a cygwin terminal on my Windows XP (SP3)
installation. The window would launch and then quickly close. Ive dug
through the mail Archives and attempted the following suggestions:
- ensure no extraneous cygwin1.dlls are around
- launch cygwin.bat in a cmd shell (look for errors, yes cygheap
base mismatch errors)
- try a recent update refresh via setup.exe (did that,now at 1.7.23
but still broken)
- use listdlls.exe tool to see where dlls are based at (i think this
is telling me cygwin1.dll got bumped from its original 0x61000000 address)
- move rebase.db.i386 aside and then rerun setup.exe ( tried that
but i dont see a new rebase.db.i386 get created when i do this)
The state of my installation is such that I cant run 'rebaseall'
successfully. (Even from a dash.exe shell it fails with the
cygheap base mismatch error too.)
Im going on day 4 now with my problem and hoping dearly I can revive
my installation.
Ive attached data that includes:
- cygcheck -s -r -v output, slightly redacted.
- listdlls.exe tool data output while a dash.exe shell is up and running
- rebase -is output, ran in a dos cmd shell , shows many address
collisions (*)
Thank you all for your work on this fantastic platform, and for any
suggestions to get around a cygheap base mismatch condition.
Sounds like you could be suffering from a case of BLODA
(http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA). I'd suggest looking into that.
