Subject: cygwin_create_path causes null pointer crashes
Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 02:03:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4cdcdf06-6018-0854-002f-8ca92a2b3698@towo.net> (raw)
cygwin_create_path is supposed to call malloc itself,
however, it occasionally returns with null and errno == ENOSPC,
if it's provided with a network path, e.g.
cygwin_create_path(CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_W, "/cygdrive/s/.config/mintty")
returns null in ~ 3 of 1000 cases, where /cygdrive/s exists but
/cygdrive/s/.config does not
