Hi all, I just found a bug (I think) in cygheap_fixup_in_child function (cygheap.cc). the effect is that, sometimes a command from a script ends with the following error message
0 [main] openssl (17784) child_copy: cygheap read copy failed, 0x0..0x8003D8538, done 0, windows pid 17784, Win32 error 299 Digging a little bit in the code I found that commit_size in cygheap_fixup_in_child is wrongly calculated if the condition (child_proc_info->cygheap_max > (void *) CYGHEAP_STORAGE_INITIAL) is met. Currently, in that case, its value is evaluated as commit_size = allocsize (child_proc_info->cygheap_max); but I think this is wrong and it should be commit_size = allocsize (child_proc_info->cygheap_max) - CYGHEAP_STORAGE_LOW; The wrong value avoids the successful execution of the following second VirtualAlloc and the the error in child_copy function. I tried to recompile the cygwin dll with the above change and indeed the error disappears. I'm I correct? Paolo. VOUCHER CONNETTIVITÀ per P.IVA e PMI: internet a canone 0 per 48 mesi.
