Re: Sub-process pblms with 32-bit Cygwin builds

[picking up this dead thread after 9 months during which I had no time to pursue it] Just a negative datapoint in case anyone else ever picks this up: In response to a new Cygwin release which fixes some obscure pthread- and signal-related bugs, I updated both my Cygwin (to 1.7.34-005) and gcc (to 4.9.2-1), pulled and updated XEmacs (to 21.5-b34 "kale" 83e5c3cd6be6), did make distclean and make, but no change to the problem. That is, M-x shell still fails in default configuration, doing (setq process-connection-type nil) allows it to work, with complaints. So, no progress :-(. ht -- Henry S.
