That smells like it's the same as a longstanding problem I have with certain Perl tests and a few (a bit too complicated) Perl scripts at work. I have never been able to reproduce it in a way that might enable Corinna to have a look, unfortunately. > My next sensible step is to use an up to date version of buildbot's slave > (I'm running a very old one at the moment), but it seems kind of > fishy that strace could wake the process up. Well, with the sporadic hanging/defunct processes at work my routine is to send CONT to all Cygwin processes, then HUP/KILL to anything that's still not live or gone and then another round of CONT. This works _most_ of the time, anything more stubborn I /bin/kill -f usually.
