Christopher Faylor replied: > As mentioned above, a test case showing the problem sure would be nifty. I agree and would have provided one if I could. However, I have no idea what is causing this, nor how to write a test case for it. As I said, it's a cron job running a bash script - nothing fancy. The hang does not happen on every invokation of the script, but it does occur frequently. Where in the script it gets stuck seems to be random: wget, mkdir, mv, date, diff, etc.. > Also, knowing the first snapshot which shows the problem would be helpful. As I said, these sort of problems started after the 2006-03-09 snapshot. I double checked, and the problem does occur with the 2006-03-13 snapshot. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
