Hello all,
Today I upgraded to cygwin 1.5.14-1, and now latex coredumps immediate upon execution. It doesn't matter what latex source file is used, or even if none is used:
$ latex
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Latex worked fine under the version available in December 2004 (sorry, I don't remember the version number). I looked through the FAQ and email archive since December, and I find no mention of any latex problems, so I'm not sure if I've installed something wrong. I use latex extensively, so any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem, latex core dumps as above (WinXP SP2).
I tried running latex with strace:
$ strace latex One or more CON code pages invalid for given keyboard code
And a windows saying:
Title: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

The OP info seems like ASCII text: cifie
GDB has this to say:
$ gdb latex GNU gdb 6.3.50_2004-12-28-cvs (cygwin-special) [gdb general info snip]
(gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/latex.exe
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00451d7e in inflate_fast () (gdb) bt #0 0x00451d7e in inflate_fast () #1 0x00452aca in inflate_fast () #2 0x610067c8 in toascii () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #3 0x610069d0 in [EMAIL PROTECTED] () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #4 0x00000000 in ??

I cannot see anyway for me to fix latex myself (config file or similar) using the above info :-(
