CygWin / Sshd / ssh-keygen hangs

[Cezar Damian <cezar.damian@yahoo.com>]

HI,

 

When trying to run ssh-keygen or sshd from Cygwin bashboth of them are hanging.

 

Wehave the following configuration :
   
   - CygWin – latest version
   - Openssh – latest available version
   - OS – W10 running in a VMWare environment

 

When attaching with gdb to the process, I can see thatssh-keygen threads are waiting for something ( see below ) and the program isblocked in pthread_setspecific ().

 

Do you have any idea what is causing such a behaviorand how can we:
   
   - Work around it
   - Understand what causes it ?

 

Thank you,

 

Cezar Damian
