I have uploaded a new Cygwin 1.7 test release, 1.7.0-56. This fixes the bug introduced in -53 and -54 which resulted in various problems execing programs as seen here:

Bugfixes: ========= - Don't just return EBUSY when trying to remove shared files on an NFS share. Rather, really try to remove them first. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00872.html - Fix a problem with text mode processing. - Fix a typo in setlocale() which made the GBK charset disfunctional. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00875.html - Partially fix the FIFO regression reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00233.html - Fix a crash when trying to set long console title strings. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00893.html - Lower the memory usage of file descriptor data on the Cygwin heap. This avoids to allocate 64K chunks per file. The new size is about 250 bytes + 4 * path length. This should fix the problem reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00766.html - Fix a problem in the destructor call order on process exit. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2009-07/msg00000.html - Fix handling of incomplete UTF-8 sequences and rework UTF-16 surrogate pair handling in mbrtowc() to be more bullet-proof. Check for invalid Unicode valus beyond 0x10ffff. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00941.html FAQ: ==== - Q: How do I know that I'm running Cygwin 1.7.0-56?
