Christopher: I have not set CYGWIN_DEBUG: % printenv |grep CYG CYGWIN=error_start=C:\cygwin\bin\gdb.exe
Clearly, something causes pstree (and some other programs) to crash intermittently. (I was getting dump files before setting error_start...)? Also see the recent posting by Volker Zell? I guess we'll just wait until a few more similar problems pop up that may give better clues. Lester +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= I don't see anything out of the ordinary in the above. pstree isn't dying. It's just stopping at cygwin's "break_here". Maybe you have the CYGWIN_DEBUG environment variable set? cgf -- Prof. Lester Ingber [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ingber.com alumnus.caltech.edu/~ingber -- 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/
