I guess the latter, in which case you may want to try the > latest developer snapshot 2013-06-08 from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ I am pretty sure that I am seeing the same bug with 1.7.20-1 that Steven reports. In my case, I have 4 bash scripts that run in parallel processes. 2 of those scripts launch Java programs. The bug that I see is that Ctrl-C fails to kill the Java processes, when it used to work. The Java command, of course, is not built into cygwin but is the Windows program (which you can call from cygwin). I am running Win 7 pro 64 bit. Being nervous about installing snapshots, I followed Steven's workaround and just reran setup.exe, selecting for Base --> cygwin the suggested previous version, 1.7.18-1, and installed that. That old version works perfectly: Ctrl-C behaves exactly as expected. Corinna, do you know when the next prd worthy release of cygwin is likely to come out? Or do I need to monitor http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/ every day to find out?

A snapshot potentially always equals a new release. Snapshots never break things so severely that you can't recover by just reinstalling cygwin. And, yes, you should follow cygwin or cygwin-announce for update announcements. >I note that Ctrl-C bugs seem to occur semi-regularly with cygwin: >http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00654.html >http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-04/msg00001.html >http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-04/msg00365.html Those are likely all the same issue. >I wonder why?

I checked out the FAQ on snapshot installation http://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.snapshots and it looks to be enough pain that I want to stick with setup.exe, if at all possible. (I custom install several extra packages beyond the base installation, but don't want to install all, and I really like how setup.exe has memory of that.) > And, yes, you should follow cygwin or cygwin-announce for update announcements. 1.7.21 came out last week http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2013-07/msg00017.html but I do not see a ctrl-c fix in it. Even better, 1.7.22 just came out yesterday http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2013-07/msg00030.html and I see this tantalizing bug fix: - Fix issue with raise() not causing the process to exit with a signal status. Also only set "dumped core" flag when it's a "kernel" signal. See: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-07/msg00251.html That sounds a lot like a fix for the Ctrl-C bug discussed here. I will gladly install 1.7.22 (heck, I will likely deinstall everything and try the 64 bit version) to check out if it fixes the bug if there is an easy way that I can go back to 1.7.18 using setup.exe. I am having a bit of a hard time, however, finding a mirror that has 1.7.18 and which works with setup.exe. Some candidate I tried: http://mirrors.xmission.com/cygwin/release/cygwin/ http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/cygwin/release/cygwin/ http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwinmirror Unfortunately, every time I try to run setup.exe and add one of the above mirrors I get an error message saying something about "Unable to get setup.ini". If anyone else has seen 1.7.22 fix their Ctrl-C bug, I will take your word for it and try 1.7.22 myself. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
