The reason it shows up in the logs is that the Microsoft event viewer expects to find a pointer to a string resource in some DLL, but there is none. The only important part of the log is the freetext comment added at the end. This is what the Cygwin application actually logged: > cygserver: PID 1916: cygserver: error getting signal_arrived to server (6) It means the pointer to the "signal_arrived" event object is invalid. "signal_arrived" is used internally to notify wait functions that a POSIX signal arrived for the process and to implement EINTR, for instance. When you're using XSI IPC functions, the signal_arrived handle is used in cygserver to make the IPC functions interruptible. For that, it creates a local copy of signal_arrived using DuplicateHandle For some reason the handle given to cygserver is invalid. Why, I have no idea, and your report is missing information, so here we go again: http://cygwin.com/problems.html http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#STC Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
