Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] CALL FOR TESTING: Cygwin 1.7.10

A lot of changes and fixes have been made in Cygwin since 1.7.9 has
been released, so we're looking forward to release Cygwin 1.7.10 soon.

Please test the latest developer snapshots at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
which should have "Release Candidate" quality.

Here's an easily reproducible problem with the 2011-12-05 cygwin1.dll snapshot:


1. Download cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 .

2. Start mintty from the Cygwin Terminal shortcut.

3. tar -C/ -xf /path/to/cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 --exclude=usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

An hourglass appears and tar doesn't run. I'm on W7-64 if that makes a difference.
