I keep having problems with vforks. Sometime everything is fine for days, then I start emacs, and get vfork errors.
So I rebaseall, and peflagsall. Emacs works great. Oops, forgot to restart cygserver. Restart, bam, vfork errors. Or, no vfork error. It all seems so inconsistent and random. Is there some methodology I am missing to ensure no vforks? What I'm doing (with some success)is this: 1. get latest cygwin update 2. del /etc/rebase* 3. rebaseall -v 4. peflagsall -v 5. don't restart cygserver (This means my bash shell window starts a little slower, but I can live with that.) I usually have to do this 2 to 3 times before I can get emacs to start without vfork errors. Any ideas how I can improve on this? I would like to have cygserver running. Also, I often run Cygwin Setup (to get something I've missed, like wget..., or check for updates) while emacs is running. Should I shut it down first?
