Hi, My System: CYGWIN_ME-4.90 DRAGON 1.3.11(0.53/3/2) 2002-05-30 08:05 i686 unknown Ever since yesterday, I've notice a peculiar bug in the compiled version of the cygwin cvs sources. I first compiled it in the morning and installed as usual. Then I noticed in the afternoon that some new features were added, so I again compiled and installed. This morning I noticed that there were some fixes for the perfomance improvement of stat, so I once again compiled and installed. It is when I attempted "make install" that I noticed the problem. When it got to the "i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin" directory and was processing cygserver.exe binary is when it craped out. The specific command was: "/bin/sh /usr/src/cygwin-src/src/install-sh -c cygserver.exe /usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe" which returned: "rm: cannot remove `/usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe'" I checked the permissions on the install and install/bin directories, and they were writable. I successfully created a file and then removed it using "touch foo; rm foo". I noted the install/bin directory did NOT as of yet contain cygserver.exe. This piqed my curiosity, so I decided to debug the install-sh script to see what was going on using /bin/sh -x. I discovered that it was trying to execute the following command: "rm -f -f /usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe" The target was non-existant, as stated earlier. This was even more interesting, as it appeared that rm was not processing the "force" flag. I checked under linux to see if passing rm the "-f" twice would cause any issue, and it worked fine in linux. So I decided to run a strace on the command to provide debugging information for you. It resulted in a stackdump producing the following exception: "96172 [main] RM 106319619 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" I have attached the stackdump and strace in strace+stackdump.1.tar.bz2. To further test, I decided to "see" what would happen if there existed a target. I ran "touch /usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe" and then executed the install-sh script again, which returned a different error this time: "mv /usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/#inst.106307575# /usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe" producing: "mv: cannot stat `/usr/src/cygwin-src/install/bin/cygserver.exe'" So now something is going on with mv as well? It was at this point I am making an educated guess it has to do with calls rm and mv are making to the cygwin1.dll (which is beyond my level of expertise). I decided to run an strace on the mv that the shell script was trying to do, and the results were the following exception: "57016 [main] MV 106402307 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" I have attached the stackdump and strace in strace+stackdump.2.tar.bz2. I have also attached a cygcheck.out.bz2 for reference. I hope this provides some insight and can help to root out this issue. If more info is needed, please let me know!
