To reproduce:1. Install texworks-0.4.3-1 from Cygwin Ports. 2. Create two tex files in your home directory, say test1.tex and test2.tex. I don't know if the contents matter, but in my case both files contain the following: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hello \end{document} 3. Start the X server by using the Start Menu shortcut. 4. Start texworks by typing "texworks&" in an xterm window. 5. Click on the "Open" icon to open one of the tex files. Then do the same to open the second. At this point the X server crashes and gives the message "Caught signal 11 (segmentation fault)". Server aborting." Before the crash I get the following warning in the xterm window when I open a file: QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/kbrown I don't know if this is significant.su I'm attaching cygcheck output and XWin.0.log. Ken P.S. I'm currently using the test version of xorg-server (1.12.0-1), but I can reproduce the crash with 1.11.4-5 also. Also, I'm currently testing the latest Cygwin snapshot. I just tried reverting to 1.7.11, and the X server still crashed, but not just from opening two files. I had to open and compile several tex documents before it happened.
One further detail for anyone trying to reproduce this: I just tried it on a second computer, and my recipe didn't immediately produce the crash. But I simply started trying to use texworks (loading and compiling various tex documents), and the X server crashed within a few minutes.
