Unable to start bash fatal error

Unable to start bash fatal error

[Diederik Faber]

Hi all,

My cygwin installation was running quite happily, until I updated this 
morning (march 8). After installation bash (now version 4.1.10-4) won't 
launch anymore.
When starting it from a DOS box, it gives this output:

D:\cygwin>bash
       0 [main] bash 8168 D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - add_item ("\??\D:\cygwin", "/", ...) failed, errno 1
Stack trace:

    1180 [main] bash 8168 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION


My cygwin installation resides in D:\cygwin, but the add_item parameter 
"\??\D:\cygwin" looks a bit suspicious.
I've located its value in the registry under 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\Installations\.
If I manually change the value to "D:\cygwin" and then start bash, it 
still gives the same problem. Better yet, the \??\ has returned into the 
registry key. Is this intended behavior?

Similar output is also generated when running cygcheck, so I couldn't 
attach its output.

Does anybody have a similar problem or maybe an idea on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Diederik

Hi,

sorry for the late reply, i've been on holiday.
Funny enough, that holiday seems to have resolved my bash issue. It no 
longer reproduces, stuff works normally again.

Anyway, marco, thanks for your response.

Kind regards,
Diederik
