Hello,

I love cygwin.  I've had no problems at home (running under XP),
but I'm experiencing a problem reported earlier by Benoit Rochefort

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-02/msg00791.html

under Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2.
I can reproduce by doing a 

	find . -type l

in my home directory.  The find hangs, and even if I kill it, 
subsequent commands fail:

[kirke@BAG HINTS]$ cat HINTS
cat: HINTS: Too many open files

I've attached cygcheck output.

Appreciate any suggestions,
kirk

Get rid of the DLL above.  Never mix Cygwin DLL versions.

I saw the same failure after removing this.
Also, I scratch installed Windows 2000, and redid the Cygwin install
from scratch (nothing but setup.exe).

Its apparent that directory entries relative to my HOME directory
are corrupt:

[kirke@BAG .backup]$ ls -l big*
ls: big-2002-0228-1555: No such file or directory
-rw-r--r--    1 kirke    Administ      547 Nov  9  2000
big-2001-0108-1137
-rw-r--r--    1 kirke    Administ      568 Jan 16  2001
big-2002-0212-1443
-rw-r--r--    1 kirke    Administ      532 Nov  1  2000
bigd-2001-0108-1137
-rw-r--r--    1 kirke    Administ      529 Jan 16  2001
bigd-2002-0212-1443
[kirke@BAG .backup]$ pwd
/cygdrive/z/private/kirke/scripts/.backup

This directory lives on a server managed by our IS group.  I've
requested
they do a 'chkdsk /f' to clean up.

I guess find is leaking descriptors when it encounters bad directory
entries.

* Too many open files

I attempted to find an answer to this online and in archives, but had no
success.  I have a large make file with thousands of files which failed at
the linking step.  On restarting the make after changing the link settings I
discovered the make file halted with "Too many open files".

I am running the latest version of cygwin 1.3.9 with all other tools updated
on a Windows 2000 (Build 2195: Service Pack 2) machine.  The files being ran
through in the makefile are on a Windows NT machine on a small network.  I
checked the NT machine network resources and found that over 2000 files were
open for read by the machine running make.  Even after make is finished the
files continue to stay open.  Even after closing cygwin.

Is this a problem in how make works?  Does cygwin keep file handles openned
and cached?  Anyone got any idea whats going on?  Anyone experienced the
same problem?

Thanks.
David.
