Potential BLODA reported for smartctl due to WMI calls

Potential BLODA reported for smartctl due to WMI calls

[Christian Franke]

If smartctl is run for an USB drive, a potential BLODA is reported:

# uname -sr
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.15(0.260/5/3)

# echo $CYGWIN
detect_bloda

# /usr/sbin/smartctl -i /dev/sdb
smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [i686-pc-cygwin-win7(64)-sp1] 
(cygwin-5.42-1)
...

Potential BLODA detected!  Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL:
   C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wbemprox.dll

Potential BLODA detected!  Thread function called outside of Cygwin DLL:
   C:\Windows\syswow64\OLE32.dll

=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda ES.2
Device Model:     ST31000340NS
...


smartctl uses WMI queries to retrieve USB Id for physical drive. This is 
used to auto-detect ATA pass-through protocol provided by USB bridge.
Could these two DLLs possibly be added to the list of well known DLLs?
