latest Sergey's update (08/01) crashes on Win95

[Jerome Gay]

Hi all,

I just installed Sergey's latest coolview, dated Aug,1st... when I start
bash, WIndows95 crahes completely (hard-reset necessary)... any ideas ?

Let me guess your on win95... I have the same problem just mailed the 
list bout it. I can't figure it out. Something to do with ls 
dircolors an bash I think? If you run ls in dos instead of bash mine 
dies too.
I had to downgrade to a previous coolview I had laying around...

Ditto me too.  I've got a valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group.  Here's what
it does:

BASH.EXE: /etc/profile: error 0
BASH.EXE: /home/users/dmeans/.bash_login: cannot execute binary file
BASH.EXE-2.01$

.bash_login is a sym link to .profile.  

I know that /etc/profile isn't getting sourced because pwd reports
/dev/c/ and not $HOME, and $PATH is not set.  I don't start bash in
/dev/c nor do I cd to it, so I don't know how it's getting there.  

If I execute a command at the prompt, the command will run, i.e., mount
or /bin/ls, but the system will hang afterwards.  The mouse still works,
but nothing will get the system back save a three-finger-salute (
ctrl-alt-del ).  Sometimes it will take a moment or two before it hangs,
at least it did after the mount command.

Thanks,

I have contributed some code to the latest coolview release which seems
to be misbehaving on Windows 95.  I am actively tracking it down now, but
it looks like it is a really strange problem; possibly a bug in Windows 95.

So, don't blame Sergey.  It's probably my fault.

Here too (Win95 OSR2).

Exactly the same symptoms.

You're right.  (hangs head in shame)

I'm sorry, Bill.

While searching for a win95-specific problems in the last cygwin.dll, I 
have found the following bugs in Windows95:

1. The application hangs when tries to resume non-suspended thread. 
Workaround: suspend the thread before resuming :-)

2. MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() returns WAIT_FAILED with errno 
ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE instead of WAIT_OBJECT_0+N when the waited process is 
killed with three-finger salute. Workaround: just wait again :-)

3. InterlockedIncrement()/InterlockedDecrement() returns the temperature on 
the Shri-Lanka coast instead of operation result :-) This results in 
incorrect tty allocation and the messages like "free_tty: count < 0". I 
don't know a good workaround, and didn't fix it yet. I think, the tty 
support should be completely disabled on #$%@'95.

Try to write to askbill@microsoft.com :-)

Do you have a valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group?
