Hi,
On my 64-bit Cygwin installation, when I start `infocmp.exe` from
within mintty, it opens up a new cmd-window (not mintty!), shows
options and immediately closes. However, the infocmp process hangs in
a way that defies killing -- it cannot be killed even from the windows
task manager (first attempt at killing has no effect, later attempts
return "Access is denied"). Same thing for its parent process, sh.exe.
So far, I haven't found a way of killing these two processes short of
restarting the system.
A workaround is to either uninstall ncurses or to move away
infocmp.exe -- with luck, stuff will work (for example, `perl -de0`
hangs because of infocmp, but works flawlessly with infocmp moved
away).
Now, has anyone else observed this, or am I the only one? I've tried
reinstalling ncurses without effect, any other suggestions?
I'm running 64-bit Cygwin under Windows 8.

No problem for me on Windows 7, 32-bit. If you're still having trouble,
please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found at the link
below with any follow-up mail to the list. That will help others on the
list do some basic evaluation of your issue.

I'm running cygwin 64-bit, version 1.7.27(0.271/5/3), under Windows 8
Professional. When I run infocmp.exe (without arguments) from the
ncurses package, from within a mintty terminal, it opens up a new
cmd.exe window, prints whatever it is supposed to print when called
without arguments and then exits, closing the cmd.exe window. Invoking
with '>/dev/null 2>/dev/null' behaves exactly the same as without.
I was able to capture the cmd.exe window (which is closed
instantaneously) with a screen recording software and then extract the
frame, see here: http://s21.postimg.org/jwz9s8dlz/infocmp_normal.jpg .
I have also observed a stacktrace in that cmd.exe window once, but
couldn't figure out what causes it (a different executable filename is
not the cause, and it happened only once out of about 6 times I
recorded the screen):
http://s18.postimg.org/a7pzrbuih/infocmp_stacktrace.jpg
Now, even after the cmd.exe window is closed, infocmp.exe remains
running in the mintty terminal and cannot be killed. After pressing
Ctrl-C, the following output is always shown after a variable amount
of time (in a couple of tests, I got values between 20 and 50
seconds):
irfan@irfy:/usr/bin$ ./infocmp.exe
1 [sig] -bash 16792 get_proc_lock: Couldn't acquire
sync_proc_subproc for(5,1), last 7, Win32 error 0
497 [sig] -bash 16792 proc_subproc: couldn't get proc lock. what 5, val 1
The first number on the second line of output corresponds to the
amount of time waited in 1/10ths of a second.
Looking at the task manager reveals an sh.exe parent and an
infocmp.exe child, neither of which can be killed: "Access is denied".
I have to reboot to get rid of them.
I stumbled across this problem by trying to run the perl debugger --
`perl -de0` -- which hangs as just described. Uninstalling the ncurses
package makes the perl debugger work -- as does moving away (renaming)
just the infocmp executable. Reinstalling the ncurses package does not
resolve the problem.
I've attached my cygcheck.out (removed a couple of env-vars -- they do
not influence PATH-like variables anyway). You will notice that
cygcheck says that infocmp.exe is missing -- that's because I had it
moved away (renamed it) for `perl -de0` to work at the time of running
cygcheck.
I don't think it should make a difference, but someone on
stackoverflow thought that mintty terminal options could cause the
problem -- I have changed some colors and fonts, changed mouse
behavior to mimic PuTTY, but I left the terminal type at 'xterm' and
answerback empty.
I have also tried to start the infocmp.exe directly from the common
cmd.exe shell -- it always ended up in a stack trace. (This could be
normal I guess)

I just tried running infocmp from both mintty and cmd on Windows 8.1
64-bit. The behavior is as expected. No terminal window, no stack
trace. I'm surprised that "perl -de 0" causes infocmp to be run but
that works fine too.
If you haven't upgraded to Windows 8.1, maybe that will fix the problem.
Otherwise, I suspect BLODA.

It was the BLODA -- fixed by disabling Avast, thanks a lot...
