I'm seeing something funny. While trying to build a large program on
Cygwin using cl.exe (i.e. I am building a non-Cygwin app; just using
Cygwin to drive 'make'), every now and then, cl.exe hangs. Before you
tell me I'm on the wrong list :-), here's the funny part. If I do 'ps'
in Cygwin, I can see the 'cl' process, along with its WINPID. However,
it doesn't show up in task manager! Also, there are about five processes
that are clearly Cygwin processes (bash.exe or sh.exe) that do NOT show
up in Cygwin's 'ps'.
Following up on this... I still haven't determined a cause, but it seems
to have gone away for the moment. I should note that a: I was building
on an NFS volume, and b: I had running in another window 'while sleep 2;
do make install; done' (an equivalent, anyway). After stopping the
repeating 'make', I'm not seeing it any more.
Maybe this information can help with the 'cron job hangs' problem.
Anyway, if anyone figures out anything, please share with the rest of us.
