The window manager "Windowmaker" has a massive handle leak, loosing about 50 handles per second, until the Windows kernel runs out of buffer memory (after 12 hours or so, then everything fails, socket api functions etc.)
I think this is the same problem Volker Zell reported at January 11. I just updated my cygwin, so the problem is still present in the current software. I simply changed in "startxwin.sh" XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error & ... to XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error & sleep 2 wmaker & sleep 2 ... With "fvwm" or "twm" i have no problems. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
