Re: signal error -3, Win32 error 317


Are the messages below related at all? I'm using the 12/01 snapshot and Mumit's
gcc-2.95.2. After approx 2 to 6 hours of use, XEmacs 21.2 beta 23 crashes on me
with these messages in a stackdump file. Once the crash occurs, it *seems* to
occur at shorter intervals.

    0 60009924 [main] xemacs-21.2-b23 1169 sig_send: wait for sig_complete
event failed, sig 6, rc 258, Win32 error 0
 8024 60017948 [sig] xemacs-21.2-b23 1169 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event
failed, sig 11, rc 258, Win32 error 0
 3256 60021204 [main] xemacs-21.2-b23 1169 sig_send: wait for sig_complete
event failed, sig 6, rc 258, Win32 error 0

I asked the XEmacs-NT list about this, and got only one response indicating
that the person is not seeing this problem when building an earlier version of
XEmacs (21.1.8) with the Cygwin 1.0 CD.

It looks to me like a Cygwin problem rather than an XEmacs problem. Is that
true or could it still be an XEmacs problem?

Thanks,

Rick
