Re: cygwin1.dll (v1.1.2): dup2() with invalid newfd lead to exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Chris,
    any time to look at a bug report on a fork() call? Its the same package
(squid 2.3-STABLE3) during startup, it stackdumps. I have been trying to
debug this w/gdb (both your updated version, and the text-console version 5
from sourceware). gdb seems to work ok, but I cannot follow the second
thread..
I have included a stackdump and the funciton that calls fork().

 syslog(LOG_ALERT, "fork failed: %s", xstrerror());
