Here is some more information The sequence:
Andy@Andy-Work ~
$ export OFFICE_BIN="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16"
$ strace "$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe -oice -nme "Post-Install.doc"
"Post-Install.docx" >strace.out
Segmentation fault
$ echo $?
139
Produces the attached strace. Notice the last lines
--- Process 5628, exception c0000005 at 000000006fdca6fd
--- Process 5628 exited with status 0xc0000005 // This is windows code for
access violation
So teh seg fault comes from the Wordconv.exe process when it is exiting, but
why? This doesn't happen if I do this in
CMD.
$ cmd

"Post-Install.doc" "Post-Install.docx"
"%OFFICE_BIN%\Wordconv.exe" -oice -nme "Post-Install.doc" "Post-Install.docx"
Somebody with deeper knowledge of cygwin internals will have to track this down.

Here is a strange one. I have two scripts, conv.sh and conv.bat that do the
same thing: scan the current directory for
.doc files and convert them to .docx files. Here are the two scripts.
$ cat conv.sh
#!/bin/bash
OFFICE_BIN="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16"
for doc in *.doc; do
echo "converting: $doc"
"$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe -oice -nme "$doc" "${doc}x"
done
$cat conv.bat
@echo off
set OFFICE_BIN=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16
for %%a in ("*.doc") do (
rem This is necessary because *.doc can match *.docx! Need to check the
actual extension.
if "%%~xa" == ".doc" (
echo "converting: %%a"
"%OFFICE_BIN%\Wordconv.exe" -oice -nme "%%a" "%%ax"a
)
)
When conv.sh is run on a directory containing three .doc files, the conversions
work but I get three seg faults at three
different locations. E.g.
$ conv.sh
converting: Post-Install.doc
./conv.sh: line 5: 6060 Segmentation fault "$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe
-oice -nme "$doc" "${doc}x"
converting: Post-InstallB.doc
./conv.sh: line 5: 13264 Segmentation fault "$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe
-oice -nme "$doc" "${doc}x"
converting: Post-InstallTest.doc
./conv.sh: line 5: 13260 Segmentation fault "$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe
-oice -nme "$doc" "${doc}x"
When conv.bat is run in the same directory, the conversions work and I don't
get any seg faults (or they are not being
reported!) E.g.
$ conv.bat
"converting: Post-Install.doc"
"converting: Post-InstallB.doc"
"converting: Post-InstallTest.doc"
Now Wordconf.exe is a 32-bit executable running on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
installation.
My cygcheck.out is attached. I guess I can get an strace if need.
