Re: crash on latest cygwin snapshot

It crashes on 20120619 snapshot and also latest cvs source.
No issue on 20120611 snapshot.

I'm also seeing this crash, but it does not kill all running cygwin processes. The only processes that die are the mintty processes and the associated bash processes. For example, it just happened a few minutes ago, and XWin survived, along with emacs and xterm.


It happens intermittently, maybe once every 3 days, and I haven't found a simple sequence of steps for reproducing it. All I can say for sure is that I always have more than one mintty running, and they all die.

Marco, are you sure all cygwin processes die when you experience this problem? Also, since you can reliably reproduce the crash, have you tried reverting to the previous version of mintty? Note that mintty was updated just a few days before the 20120619 snapshot was released.
