Here's another problem I'm having (both cvs HEAD self-built DLL and the 12/20 snapshot): '/bin/kill -9 -PGID' sometimes leaves stale unkillable processes around. Attempting to kill the processes with anything other than '/bin/kill -f' results in the following message: kill: 6364: Resource temporarily unavailable If left alone, after a while the processes print to the console: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe (6364): *** WFSO timed out after longjmp At other times, the processes are not in the Cygwin process table anymore, but do show up in 'ps -W' output as 9844 0 0 9844 ? 0 11:59:58 *** unknown *** The attached script reproduces this problem for me in one of about 3-4 tries, on a single-processor WinXP Pro SP1. It is distilled from a much larger script I have at work. FWICS, this is *not* a regression from 1.5.18 or the previous snapshots, but I hope I can help get this fixed. I can post the cygcheck output and straces for the attached script if they are likely to be useful...
