Good to hear. Thanks for confirming. For the curious, I increased the size of the signal pipe buffer. I should have done that when I made signal pipes "nowait" to work around problems with gdb a couple of releases ago. I also made the signal sender retry if WriteFile returns success but the number of bytes sent was not what was requested (since these are message-style pipes the size should always be either zero or correct). Increasing the size of the buffer should have been enough to fix the problem but, when possible, I like to use two forms of protection when I fix a bug. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
