Problems with Emacs - Resolution(?)

Problems with Emacs - Resolution(?)

[Charles Plager]

To summarize:

Due to (self-inflicted) problems, I did a fresh install of cygwin to 
1.5.7.1.

Emacs started behaving very strange:
* Random crashes
* Suddenly taking up 100% of cpu

This happened with all emacs versions I could get my hands on:
* 21.2.9
* 21.2.11
* 21.2.12

Earlier this week, I downgraded to cygwin 1.5.5.1 (I needed to downgrade 
ash to 20031007-1).  Since then I have had no problems with emacs.

So, to my untrained eye, it looks like something in the new cygwin dll 
doesn't like emacs.

Please try the latest snapshot - cygwin1-20040214.dll . You can down
load it from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ .

I tested it with Emacs for some hours now and it seems OK (I had 1
crash but I don't think its related). I'm trying to build Emacs from
CVS with it now (which crashed constantly with 1.5.7 and all snapshots
up to 20040206). I'll report the results here when it'll finish.

Ehud.

I'm sorry to say that cygwin1-20040214.dll has problems. Emacs has
still inconsistent behavior and unexplained crashes.

I manged to compile Emacs from CVS but when I run it, I get errors
(supposedly in lisp) that I don't get with the same Emacs and lisp
files on Linux.

This Emacs (21.3.50) also crashes much more then the distributed
Cygwin Emacs (21.2 compiled by Joe Buehler).

Ehud.

Thank you for this report.  It is on my todo list to run a compile
of 21.3 to check on its current state.  Undoubtedly there have been
many code changes since they committed the Cygwin port changes to
the emacs CVS and I need to check them from time to time...
