Hi Harold, I'll be sure to follow up on your latest testing tips.
Q: is there any reason not to include symbol information in your testing builds? Read on.... However, here are the latest and greatest: - I'm pretty sure that the crash isn't there when I compiled and installed the sources as I described. - I've recently discovered core dumps! Here is a post that describes it a bit: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2000-q3/msg00041.html So, armed with core dumps, my strategy is as follows: - uninstall everything and reinstall cygwin from scratch w/latest xserv. - add the following line to the beginning of startxwin.bat set cygwin=error_start=c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe - wait for the crash - Recompile w/debug info - Wait for crash - Coredump anyone? :-) Ãyvind
