[Patch] cygwin terminfo ``smacs'' setting.

2004-10-02 Thread Bas van Gompel
When playing around with a terminfo-aware app (see User-Agent header), I noticed that the ``smacs''-setting in the cygwin-entry reads ``\E11m'', not the apparently correct ``\E[11m'', causing line-drawing to fail. Following patch should fix that. Apply with ``patch -p0'' in ``/usr/src'' _after_

Memory debugging under cygwin

2004-10-02 Thread Maarten Boekhold
Hi all, I have a program that segfaults, and it's quite obvious that this is caused due to some memory corruption. Except it segfaults at a place where, if running it in gdb, there shouldn't be a problem. There seems to be some memory corruption somewhere, and I can't figure out where. I tried
