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

ht writes: Picking this up again. The b29 version, run -nw, runs M-x shell just fine. The b32 version, run -nw, fails as before (stopped before any input). Now running on Windows 8.1, with 32-bit Cygwin v1.7.29. I've taken straces, tidied them, and am trying to locate significant differences. I'm seeing some things I don't understand, and are therefore _perhaps_ suspicious: 1) b29 has: [main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask(2647444, 0xNULL, 0xNULL) where b32 has: [main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask(2649272, 0xNULL, 0xADDR) Either I don't understand strace output, or this is bizarre -- the first arg to sigprocmask should always be 0, 1 or 2, right? 2) b29 has: [main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask (0, 0xADDR, 0xADDR) where b32 has: [main] PID1 pthread_sigmask: 0 = pthread_sigmask(0, 0xNULL, 0xADDR) Is this an indication of single- to multi-threading? If so, Who/what changed that? 3) b29 has: [main] PID1 set_signal_mask: setmask 0, newmask 80000,mask_bits 0 [main] PID1 sigprocmask: 0 = sigprocmask(2655296, 0xNULL, 0xADDR) where b32 has nothing comparable, not long after starting up the bash sub-process Any of these look worth pursuing, or am I just floundering?
