startx hanging - startup problem located
in reference to my earlier message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-03/msg00048.html and the following message http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-04/msg00152.html I can state I am -not- having a personal firewall problem. With the help of 'Process Explorer' from sysinternals.com, I have been able to determine it is caused by 'cat.exe' using 90% CPU. I am disabling the keyboard extensions (see my earlier message). The 'cat' command line is: C:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe /home/martouf/.Xauthority The hanging thread stack is: ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet ntdll.dll!LdrInitializeThunk+0x29 ntdll.dll!LdrFindResourceDirectory_U+0x276 ntdll.dll!RtlLookupElementGenericTable+0x185 ntdll.dll!RtlLookupElementGenericTable+0x80 ntdll.dll!KiUserApcDispatcher+0x7 If I just kill the 'cat' process, then X starts up and functions. 'cat' will spin away indefinitely. hope this helps...
Re: startx hanging - startup problem located
I started by using Windows Task Manager to try to find the 'hanging' problem, and after sorting the process list by CPU usage - there was 'cat' spinning away. Process Explorer v9.02 provided the same data. Trying to 'cat /proc/PIDNO/cmdline' would only provide defunct. It does not matter if I use 'rootless' or 'multiwindow' - X stops at the Rules line (although I often see a clipboard connection message).

I just wanted to make sure that what you are seeing is not due to process explorer. 'cat' is such a simple program that I'd be surprised if it is directly related to the problem at hand. It may be the symptom, but I'd be very surprised if 'cat' itself was the problem. The stack trace that process explorer gives you is a bunch of Native APIs in NTDLL (most of which undocumented) and as such is more or less useless. If you build cat with debugging symbols and attach to the hung process with gdb it would give a much better idea. Or try commenting out things in startx until you can pin down the behavior that causes it. Or run strace and see what calls lead up to the hang. But I've got to say, even though you seem to have ruled out firewall issues, these sorts of hangs when starting XWin are almost always due to some kind of third party software the inserts itself into the winsock network stack in some fashion.

Color in Xterm vim matching gvim
Hi all, I was wondering if any vim/gvim users knew how to get gvim's color schemes to match those of regular shell based vim. For instance, I am using the koehler color scheme in gvim, but sometimes I just want to load vim but koehler looks different in the shell. Is this a limitation of xterm's color palette?

[PATCH] Fix newly exposed bug [was RE: RFC: Fix partial NaN-parsing problem [was RE: sscanf problem]]
Original Message
From: Jean-Christophe Kablitz
Sent: 27 April 2005 00:22
Hello,
I have noticed, that, while parsing {a float_value immediately followed by
'n' or 'N'} with the %f%c format, the sscanf function of cygwin-1.5.16-1
behaves differently from the scanf function of cygwin-1.5.14-1.
Until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included), 'n' matches %c, while with
cygwin-1.5.15-1
and cygwin-1.5-16-1, 'n' is no more assigned to %c.
In the following test case, I would expect the progran to output
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=2 x=1 m=n
that was the case until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included).
With cygwin-1.5.15-1 and cygwin-1.5-16-1, the program outputs instead
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=1 x=1 m=_
Maybe I have been misusing sscanf. Or there is a relationship with the
NaN-parsing problem of the newlib.
No, your use of sscanf is perfectly correct! Yes, there is a newly
exposed bug in the NaN parsing code, as you guessed; it falsely accepted the
N as part of 'NaN'. Then, because it had begun by parsing a number, and
because it successfully parsed the number, it didn't go through the
'nan-parsing-has-failed-so-put-back-the-eaten-chars' bit that my last fix
introduced.
--- beginning of test case ---
jck:/sscanf cat ssn.c
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
double x;
char m;
inti;
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
i = sscanf(1.0a, %lf%c, x, m);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c\n, i, x, m);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
i = sscanf(1.0n, %lf%c, x, m);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c\n, i, x, m);
return 0;
}
jck:/sscanf gcc -O0 ssn.c -o ssn.exe
jck:/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=1 x=1 m=_
--- end of test case ---
Thank you for the simple test case; I was able to reproduce the problem
easily, although not exactly: the output I got was:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=0 x=0 m=_
It turns out there has been an underlying bug that was exposed with my
earlier fix. The problem is in /src/newlib/libc/stdio/vfscanf.c, function
__SVFSCANF_R, case CT_FLOAT, where it's parsing a float and sees an 'n':
case 'n':
case 'N':
if (nancount == 0
(flags (SIGNOK | NDIGITS | DPTOK | EXPOK)))
{
flags = ~(SIGNOK | DPTOK | EXPOK | NDIGITS);
nancount = 1;
goto fok;
}
else if (nancount == 2)
{
nancount = 3;
goto fok;
}
break;
The condition at the top of the loop is meant to be testing to ensure we
haven't already parsed any of the other possible components of an FP number,
but what it actually tests is whether or not we've parsed *all* the other
possible components; that's the only case it'll refuse to accept an 'n' at
present. The reason it used to work is because after bogusly parsing the
'n', the old version then hits this bit of code when it comes time to parse
the %c field (CT_CHAR):
case CT_CHAR:
/* scan arbitrary characters (sets NOSKIP) */
if (width == 0)
width = 1;
I don't understand what this is doing, but it looks like some kind of
kludge that's saying If we got here, then we know there must have been a
char to parse, so if we don't have any, we must have bogusly consumed it
already, so pretend it's there anyway. Or something; like I say, I don't
understand it, but it looks like a kludge to me.
Anyway, the attached patch changes the bitwise-AND () to an equality (==)
operator, which genuinely tests that we haven't parsed anything else at all;
it's effectively verifying that the flags haven't changed from their initial
value before beginning to attempt to parse the possible 'NaN' string. This
fixes the testcase for me: I now see
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=2 x=1 m=n
and indeed, with an expanded version of it, which also verifies the amount
of characters consumed, I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf cat ssn.c
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
double x;
char m;
inti, n;
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0a, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c n=%d\n, i, x, m, n);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0n, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c n=%d\n, i, x, m, n);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0na, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);

I have used which under cygwin and discovered that it does not work
correctly (compared to solaris which) when passed an absolute path. For
example:
which /usr/bin/ksh
returns command not found under cygwin but /usr/bin/ksh under
solaris. I have created a patch against which 1.6-1 that checks for an
absolute path.

Bespoke installations: simple elegance of setup.exe when setup.ini is absent
About 3 years ago the then available setup.exe used to work as follows; for some quite long period since, it didn't (the installation hung); now it's back to its old (possibly unintended) functionality. Or so it seems to me. Can anybody confirm? To install Cygwin in full or in part, place all required *.bz2 in their correct location under c:\MyCyg\release\ or (conveniently and repeatably) on a CD under d:\MyCyg\release\. Do _not_ include any version of setup.ini under c:\MyCyg\, where conventionally this file would be located. Run setup.exe, choosing to Install from Local Directory identified as [cd]:\MyCyg\. All the included packages will be shown under Misc. Click the selector to change from Default to Install and away you go, to achieve a full installation of your included packages. Note: all required *.bz2: this phrase of course is a can of worms and unless the dependencies have been attended to by a previous use of setup.ini, this method of installation carries with it the risk that some packages will be installed whilst lacking necessary companions. But, if you are sure what you want and that you are getting it, this method (which seems to work) saves you any previously suggested hassle-rich approaches including tedious repeated point and click selection of packages from a list of ? 500, special management of installed.db or setup.ini, or the creation of tailored local mirrors, copying from other media, careful use of mount and umount, or combinations of these. Useful for restricted/ tailored/ even non-current distributions, and when you want to be sure that two or more installations are identical to one another in all respects.

Re: can not compile cscope on cygwin
I just tried this, and it appears that you don't have lex/flex and/or bison/byacc installed. Apparently these aren't selected by default from the cygwin setup tool. Re-run the cygwin setup tool, and under Devel, select bison and flex, and you should be good to go.

tetex 3.0.0-2 and TeXLive?
After updating tetex to 3.0.0-2, latex bombs out with an apparent memory problem
(see output below). I am suspecting that this may be due to a conflict between
cygwin tetex and Windows TeXLive (2003 edition). I have managed to run both
under tetex 2.0.2-15 by changing some of the Windows environmental variables set
by TeXLive. Has anyone managed to run both tetex 3.0.0-2 and TeXLive? An obvious
thing to try is to uninstall TeXLive. Can anyone suggest how to go about
resolving this problem without uninstalling TeXLive?

sshd and /usr/bin/zsh
Hello, I just upgraded cygwin and now I cannot login to the machine via ssh unless I change /etc/passwd to use /bin/bash for my shell. If I use /usr/bin/zsh then the login appears successful but no prompt ever shows up. If I look at the set of processes I see a zsh that is doing nothing. I tried moving all my .z* files out of my home directory but it didn't change anything. I tried adding a command in .zshenv to create a mark file to see if it was even being loaded, but it is not. The zsh process seems completely dead. It was working fine before the update. Any ideas?

RE: strange problem
Original Message From: community help Sent: 28 April 2005 16:16 Hi everybody, I installed my cygwin in c:\cygwin. After i extracted a zip file of a software (ns-2) to c:\cygwin. You obviously think this might matter, but you haven't told us why. Now the problem is that the content of the directory c:\cygwin\usr\bin from windows explorer is not the same as the result of the ls command in /usr/bin from cygwin. Is this normal or not? Yes, it's normal. The directory path /usr/bin is actually a cygwin mount point that just points straight back into /bin, so /usr/bin and /bin are the same. If yes, please tell me how can i access the directory c:\cygwin\usr\bin from cygwin. You don't want to. It's just a dummy empty dir for the mountpoint. You don't want to have any files in there. So it sounds like (but I'm guessing here, because you gave so few details) the unzipping has gone wrong and some of the files have ended up in c:\cygwin\usr\bin.

Thank you again --- Dave Korn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Original Message From: community help Sent: 28 April 2005 16:16 Hi everybody, I installed my cygwin in c:\cygwin. After i extracted a zip file of a software (ns-2) to c:\cygwin. You obviously think this might matter, but you haven't told us why. Now the problem is that the content of the directory c:\cygwin\usr\bin from windows explorer is not the same as the result of the ls command in /usr/bin from cygwin. Is this normal or not? Yes, it's normal. The directory path /usr/bin is actually a cygwin mount point that just points straight back into /bin, so /usr/bin and /bin are the same. If yes, please tell me how can i access the directory c:\cygwin\usr\bin from cygwin. You don't want to. It's just a dummy empty dir for the mountpoint. You don't want to have any files in there. So it sounds like (but I'm guessing here, because you gave so few details) the unzipping has gone wrong and some of the files have ended up in c:\cygwin\usr\bin.

Select() hangs forever
Hi, I encountered a strange problem porting a POSIX-compliant networking library to cygwin: A small test program creates a UNIX domain socket and listens on an incoming connections. Then, from the same process, two ASYNC connections are attempted (think of it as a loopback within a process). Calling connect() on both returns errno: 119 Operation now in progress as expected. Then, to complete the connection establishment, I call select() on both FDs with Read/Write mask checked to see if in fact the connection is completed. The timeout is set to 1 seconds (I also tried different timeouts). The select() BLOCKS FOREVER and never returns (until I kill the process). I ran the program with 'strace' and attached the relevant log file. Can someone with working knowledge of cygwin networking code shed some light of what I might be doing wrong?

The connect command is a fairly simple program that redirects stdin/stdout to a host:port. This way, I can either use a ssh to host:port if tunneling is required to connect to host:port if not. The problem is that cygwin has a very low throughput using the script with the connect command. I guess it could be related to the slow pipe problem mentioned earlier (but was supposedly fixed). I have tried without the ProxyCommand and the speed returned to an acceptable 1.5MBps. I hope Cygwin can be fixed so the speed returns to normal :-) Yep. We'll get right on fixing that problem where fairly simple programs which redirect stdin/stdout to a host:port cause reversions in behavior of the slow pipe problem which was supposedly fixed.

Anyway, here is the link to connect.c: http://www.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html And just create script like ssh-connect.sh: #!/bin/bash connect $1 $2 And in .ssh/config add the script to a destination: ProxyCommand ssh-connect.sh %h %p scp'in from the host which is reached through connect has its speed severely reduced. It may be the problem with connect itself, but I am not sure how to test that. Seems like something is going on with the compiled version of connect that you pointed to. If I try what you mentioned above with the precompiled version, it is dreadfully slow for me as well (at least several orders of magnitude slower). Building a local one from source with Cygwin was allot better, though still slower than without it (by 4 to 5 times). You might want to try a local build if you need to rely on connect. It's allot better than the alternative. The one I tried _was_ the freshly compiled (by my self) version. I did not try the precompiled version. The slowdown you experience (4-5 times) approximately matches the slowdown I see as well. Connect.c is probably not quite cygwin friendly yet (or the other way around), but I haven't found any alternative (though I haven't looked very hard, only mildly hard ;-). However, the job connect has to do seems simple enough: Establish connection in host:port, create 2 threads (or 1 more), one thread reading from standard in and output on socket out and one thread to read from socket and write to standard out. connect handles a few protocols, but for this to work, data should just be passed right through, i.e. no protocol handling necessary.

Re: Unison 2.10.2 fast update check broken?
Hi Marcus. Thanks for the report. Seems that Cygwin port of the unison file synchronizer does not do the -fastcheck very well. Transcript follows: # Start of transcript # creates archives for first time $ cd /tmp ; touch a b ; /bin/unison-2.10.2 ./a ./b ... $ touch a $ /bin/unison-2.10.2 -fastcheck true -times -debug verbose ./a ./b ... # now output shows that file contents is checked, ie. the Double-check # possibly updated file line, which is correct, since we did a touch $ /bin/unison-2.10.2 -fastcheck true -times -debug verbose ./a ./b ... # BUG: outputs again the Double-check possibly updated file line for file # 'b', ie. file content is checked even if no mods. # End of transcript I think this is the expected behavior, since a and b have the same contents. When Unison observes the different timestamps, it flags the files as possibly different and prints the Double-check message. Then it looks more carefully, and determines that their contents are in fact the same, so no update is propagated. That includes the timestamps, even though you specified -times. So then when you run the operation again, the same thing happens because nothing was changed on the previous run. The effect of -times is to make Unison synchronize the timestamps when an update is needed because the file contents are different. It doesn't make the timestamps sufficient to determine that files are different. At least, that's my reading of the manual. The above transcript functions as expected using linux or native Win32 unison builds. Hm, are you sure? If so, then that blows away my carefully constructed explanation above. I've looked at the set of patches that I applied to get Unison 2.10.2 running in Cygwin, and I don't see anything there that would obviously affect the -fastcheck option. But it's possible, and if you show me the evidence I'll look into it.

Re: [PATCH] Fix newly exposed bug [was RE: RFC: Fix partial NaN-parsing problem [was RE: sscanf problem]]
Hi Dave,
Thanks for looking into this. Your patch wasn't quite correct. It ended up
breaking nan-support which isn't tested in the accompanying testcase. It needed
to verify that x multiple_flags_ored_together == multiple_flags_ored_together.
Anyway, I have checked a patch in and verified that it works for your tests
below plus it also works for a simple test like
i = sscanf (nank, %lf%c%n, x, m, n)

Hello,
I have noticed, that, while parsing {a float_value immediately followed by
'n' or 'N'} with the %f%c format, the sscanf function of cygwin-1.5.16-1
behaves differently from the scanf function of cygwin-1.5.14-1.
Until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included), 'n' matches %c, while with
cygwin-1.5.15-1
and cygwin-1.5-16-1, 'n' is no more assigned to %c.
In the following test case, I would expect the progran to output
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=2 x=1 m=n
that was the case until cygwin-1.5.14-1 (included).
With cygwin-1.5.15-1 and cygwin-1.5-16-1, the program outputs instead
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=1 x=1 m=_
Maybe I have been misusing sscanf. Or there is a relationship with the
NaN-parsing problem of the newlib.
No, your use of sscanf is perfectly correct! Yes, there is a newly
exposed bug in the NaN parsing code, as you guessed; it falsely accepted the
N as part of 'NaN'. Then, because it had begun by parsing a number, and
because it successfully parsed the number, it didn't go through the
'nan-parsing-has-failed-so-put-back-the-eaten-chars' bit that my last fix
introduced.
--- beginning of test case ---
jck:/sscanf cat ssn.c
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
double x;
char m;
inti;
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
i = sscanf(1.0a, %lf%c, x, m);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c\n, i, x, m);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
i = sscanf(1.0n, %lf%c, x, m);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c\n, i, x, m);
return 0;
}
jck:/sscanf gcc -O0 ssn.c -o ssn.exe
jck:/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=1 x=1 m=_
--- end of test case ---
Thank you for the simple test case; I was able to reproduce the problem
easily, although not exactly: the output I got was:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=0 x=0 m=_
It turns out there has been an underlying bug that was exposed with my
earlier fix. The problem is in /src/newlib/libc/stdio/vfscanf.c, function
__SVFSCANF_R, case CT_FLOAT, where it's parsing a float and sees an 'n':
case 'n':
case 'N':
if (nancount == 0
(flags (SIGNOK | NDIGITS | DPTOK | EXPOK)))
{
flags = ~(SIGNOK | DPTOK | EXPOK | NDIGITS);
nancount = 1;
goto fok;
}
else if (nancount == 2)
{
nancount = 3;
goto fok;
}
break;
The condition at the top of the loop is meant to be testing to ensure we
haven't already parsed any of the other possible components of an FP number,
but what it actually tests is whether or not we've parsed *all* the other
possible components; that's the only case it'll refuse to accept an 'n' at
present. The reason it used to work is because after bogusly parsing the
'n', the old version then hits this bit of code when it comes time to parse
the %c field (CT_CHAR):
case CT_CHAR:
/* scan arbitrary characters (sets NOSKIP) */
if (width == 0)
width = 1;
I don't understand what this is doing, but it looks like some kind of
kludge that's saying If we got here, then we know there must have been a
char to parse, so if we don't have any, we must have bogusly consumed it
already, so pretend it's there anyway. Or something; like I say, I don't
understand it, but it looks like a kludge to me.
Anyway, the attached patch changes the bitwise-AND () to an equality (==)
operator, which genuinely tests that we haven't parsed anything else at all;
it's effectively verifying that the flags haven't changed from their initial
value before beginning to attempt to parse the possible 'NaN' string. This
fixes the testcase for me: I now see
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf ./ssn.exe
i=2 x=1 m=a
i=2 x=1 m=n
and indeed, with an expanded version of it, which also verifies the amount
of characters consumed, I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /test/sscanf cat ssn.c
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
double x;
char m;
inti, n;
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0a, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c n=%d\n, i, x, m, n);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0n, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c n=%d\n, i, x, m, n);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0na, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);
printf(i=%d x=%g m=%c n=%d\n, i, x, m, n);
x = 0.0;
m = '_';
n = -1;
i = sscanf(1.0nan, %lf%c%n, x, m, n);

So the problem actually is in the Cygwin version, and if you (or somebody) somehow could get it to transfer the modification times, that would be great. It probably hasn't got anything to do with your patches, more likely with Cygwin file modification times (maybe the ctime issues mentioned on this list?), but maybe a patch for this problem is still possible? Too bad I don't know oCaml. :) I'm using unison to backup a large tree to a spare hard-drive, and from there on to another PC, and noticed that lots of files get reread unnecessarily at each syncrhonization, which slows it down considerably. The Cygwin port is valuable, because I have greater control on the file-permissions of files that get created by unison, and it also can spawn external processes (which the native one can't), for instance to do a merge in an editor. Thanks, -Marcus. Hi Marcus. Thanks for the report. Seems that Cygwin port of the unison file synchronizer does not do the -fastcheck very well. Transcript follows: # Start of transcript # creates archives for first time $ cd /tmp ; touch a b ; /bin/unison-2.10.2 ./a ./b ... $ touch a $ /bin/unison-2.10.2 -fastcheck true -times -debug verbose ./a ./b ... # now output shows that file contents is checked, ie. the Double-check # possibly updated file line, which is correct, since we did a touch $ /bin/unison-2.10.2 -fastcheck true -times -debug verbose ./a ./b ... # BUG: outputs again the Double-check possibly updated file line for file # 'b', ie. file content is checked even if no mods. # End of transcript I think this is the expected behavior, since a and b have the same contents. When Unison observes the different timestamps, it flags the files as possibly different and prints the Double-check message. Then it looks more carefully, and determines that their contents are in fact the same, so no update is propagated. That includes the timestamps, even though you specified -times. So then when you run the operation again, the same thing happens because nothing was changed on the previous run. The effect of -times is to make Unison synchronize the timestamps when an update is needed because the file contents are different. It doesn't make the timestamps sufficient to determine that files are different. At least, that's my reading of the manual. The above transcript functions as expected using linux or native Win32 unison builds. Hm, are you sure? If so, then that blows away my carefully constructed explanation above. I've looked at the set of patches that I applied to get Unison 2.10.2 running in Cygwin, and I don't see anything there that would obviously affect the -fastcheck option. But it's possible, and if you show me the evidence I'll look into it.

Re: pointer to getting cron to run w/user creds?
Linda W wrote: I remember this discussion on the cygwin list, but wasn't able to find a reference to in the FAQ. I have a nightly cron job that I'd like to back up my home windows dir to a samba machine, but when it runs, I'm sorta sure that it doesn't know what cygwin-uid to run with. Could someone point where getting cron to work with my credentials has been covered? I did google for cron UID credentials site:cygwin.com, but it came up empty -- shouldn't that have found the dicussion in the cygwin list archives? cron switches to the user who owns the crontab, you don't have to configure anything for that to happen, that's just how cron works. However, your question should probably be, Why can't I access a network share from a cronjob? The answer to that has to do with how impersonation works on windows. The summary is that accessing network resources as a specific user requires that user's actual password in the process token. When a service like cron switches to another user, that is not present, so it's impossible to access a network share. It works when you actually log in as that user as your password is stored in the token when you login. The solution is one of: - Make network shares read/writable (as needed) for Guest/anonymous access. - Run 'net use' in the cronjob and explicitly specify a password to mount the share to a drive letter. - Install the cron service to run as the actual user. If you opt for the latter, cron will only be able to run cronjobs for that user, you lose the functionality of cron being a general purpose daemon. And you will have to specify that user's password to cygrunsrv when you install the service, which is how the process token gets the password.

can't access Serial Ports
Hi, I just recently installed cygwin on my WinXP box here at work. I am trying to migrate my Perl scripts over to the cygwin environment. But now I can not access my Serial Ports thru cygwin. for instance, when I tried installing a serial port device module for perl, the make file died with the following error: could not open port '/dev/ttyS1'. Are permissions correct? i went to look in my root cygwin directory, and i dont even have a /dev directory. all of my websearches on this subject finds info that assumes my /dev/ttySx is available. does cygwin normally not install a /dev directory? do i need to create this manually? I am not sure what to do here, and this is a major stumbling block. Much of my work involves testing serial ports, modems, etc. For the record, all of these still work in the Win32 environment, just not in cygwin. Many thanks, Robert. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

It's rare that the shell hangs like that, unless it's stuck waiting for a

To follow up on my hunch, you might want to run cygcheck /usr/bin/zsh

Running the cygcheck /usr/bin/zsh.exe from the system shell or a user shell
gives

It should be noted that I can run zsh once I have a bash prompt.
Running zsh inside an rxvt works also. It is only when the initial login
uses zsh (through ssh or system shell login) that it fails.
From the bash shell, did you just run zsh as a subshell or did you try
running it as a login shell (eg: zsh -l)? As another experiment, could
you enable the rlogin service ('login' in /etc/inetd.conf) and then start
inetd and try using rlogin to see if zsh hangs there as well? You'll
need to install the inetutils package, run 'inetd --install-as-service',
then 'net start inetd', then try rlogin from another machine. I'd like
to narrow it down to either a problem with ssh interaction or perhaps a
problem with the system/user profiles in /etc/z* or your local .z*
profiles.
Also, be advised that as of zsh-4.2.4, /etc/zprofile has been updated to
parallel the base /etc/profile. The update would only apply, however, if
you did not have a previous, custom, zprofile. A copy of the updated
zprofile is in /usr/share/doc/zsh-4.2.4/StartupFiles/etc
I'll see if I can reproduce your setup, though I only have W2K and not XP
(well, that's not quite true... I *could* setup an XP instance, but I
probably *won't* :). Is there anything special with your sshd setup?
Did you customize anything? Is the service run under 'SYSTEM' or under
your userid?
Wait... your using a domain account aren't you? Hmm... That might
complicate things. Are you logging in to your domain account via ssh or
into a local machine account?

1.5.16: Filename case sensitivity problem
Hi, everybody, I meet problem in filename case sensitivity, 1. I can tar jxvf setup-2.457.2.2.tar.bz2 to extract the setup package in the Cygwin environment, it works well, all files can be listed out. By under XP's file explorer, the filename with upper case is showed in a different form, for example, %4Dakefile.am but not Makefile.am It seems filename with upper case has been transformed before Cygwin store them onto NTFS. 2. I extract setup-2.457.2.2.tar.bz2 by WinRAR into another directory, then all files can be listed in XP's file explorer, but in Cygwin environment, when I issue ls command, it reported: ls: Makefile.in: No such file or directory I don't know why I get such error message. It seems Cygwin noticed there exist such filename(or it will not issue such error message), but think the filename is illegal. 3. I think Cygwin is now storing upper case filename in a different form, so I generate directory or file manually by mkdir Abc and ls Def in the Cygwin environment(in rxvt), but now either directory or file with uppercase name can be correct displayed in XP's file explorer. Would any one explain what happened for the filename? I've read the Cygwin User's Guide, but got no answer(It said Cygwin is case in-sensitive). I've updated all packages to the latest by setup.

By under XP's file explorer, the filename with upper case is showed in a different form, for example, %4Dakefile.am but not Makefile.am Please attach your cygcheck output as requested at http://cygwin.com/problems.html. It sounds like you have enabled managed mounts. When you do that, Cygwin encodes filenames with %nn. This is so that filenames that are normally forbidden by Windows (such as those that use reserved words like CON, AUX, etc. or two files with the same name but different case) can be used with Cygwin programs. Cygwin has to encode the filenames specially to get around these inherent Windows limitataions. They will not show up correctly in Explorer because explorer has no idea what a managed mount is. When you extract the archive with winrar, the %nn encodings will not be done, and since the directory is mounted in managed mode, Cygwin will expect to see the encodings, which is why you get file not found. So, the solution is either: - Don't use use managed mounts. - Use managed mounts, but be aware that filenames will look strange to non-Cygwin programs. For most people there is absolutely no need to use managed mounts, and it appears that you have enabled this feature without knowing how it works or what it implies. You should not be using this feature if you don't understand it. However, do not simply disable it now. If you have created files on a managed mount and then decide to mount those paths normally, you will find lots of screwed up filenames. To undo a manged mount requires that you copy the entire tree to another path, because you can't just turn off the managed mode once you've created files there.

How can I fix it??? You have an old version of the Cygwin DLL with newer versions of at least the gcc package. This could be caused by: 1. You have more than 1 copy of 'cygwin1.dll' on your system. Search for and destroy all those that don't exist in 'c:\Cygwin\bin'. 2. You didn't reboot after upgrading Cygwin, even though setup told you to. 3. You downgraded your Cygwin package to a very old version without downgrading (at least) your gcc package. Unless you know what you're doing, don't do that.

Re: 1.5.16: Filename case sensitivity problem
Thanks Brain. I do agree with you that the issue is caused by managed mount you mentioned. But to verify such issue,I installed cygwin severial times from setup, I did nothing on mount or any other cygwin setting. I have no idea how to turn on/off managed mount. Would you please explain more on how to turn off it? seems it's turned on by default. Attached please to cygcheck output for your reference.

The MOUNT_ENC bitflag is 0x800... e:\cygwin\usr\src /usr/src system binmode ...although it appears that cygcheck does not report this flag in its output. Still, if you run mount -m it should show the option -o managed next to the command that would create that mount. You can find more information on the -o flags that mount takes in man mount. I am not sure how this mount came to be if you did not create it. I was under the impression that neither setup.exe nor any packages enable managed mounts. It looks like that is not the case. Anyway, to get rid of it, you can simply unmount /usr/src, i.e. umount /usr/src. Ordinarily there is no need to mount /usr/src explicitly, since it is just a regular subdirectory under /usr. Note that when you do this, /usr/src will revert to its standard behavior, and any files in the directory will have strange filenames. You should move/copy the files to a non-managed mount before unmounting, or delete the contents of the directory entirely.

An intolerably slow behavior during a cascade of constructor calls
Hi,
I'm using cygwin 1.5.13-1 and gcc version 3.3.3.
My code is pretty big (70 K LOC of C++) right now, but I intend to minimize
it if needed. But here's what its does in a nutshell:
It loads a text file of around 1 MB of data, then calls a cascade of
inherited constuctors (three of them). And it looks like it hangs up
(outside of my code) during one of these calls, then ends up coming back and
executing the rest of the program. I first suspected the size of the
parameters passed during those call; I was conforted in that the larger the
file I load, the longer the hangup time lasts. But after a closer look, the
parameters passed are small enough and the buffer containing the file is NOT
one of them.
The magnitude of the problem is such that, the same program compiled on
Linux and run on a similar machine, runs in 4 seconds while it needs more
than 10 minutes on cygwin.
Here's a tentative minimal program that failed though to reproduce the slow
behavior (probably because I do not load any big file).
Did anybody experience any similar problem lately?
Thank you for any hint
