I can't reproduce the hang, using the same commands: $ ./blah ov_open is 0x004010a0 $ gdb --quiet ./blah (gdb) b mainCRTStartup Breakpoint 1 at 0x401006: file ../../../../src/winsup/cygwin/crt0.c, line 32. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/vorbisfile_bug/blah.exe Breakpoint 1, mainCRTStartup () at ../../../../src/winsup/cygwin/crt0.c:32 32 asm volatile ("andl $-16,%%esp" ::: "%esp"); (gdb) c Continuing. ov_open is 0x004010a0 Program exited normally. (gdb) The first thing that came to mind when you mentioned this was that you had a mingw/native version of the vorbis library in your search path somewhere and that you'd somehow linked it in instead of the cygwin one. Doing that will cause all sorts of problems. What does "cygcheck blah" report?
