Re: Freeze in perl script after cygwin upgrade 1.5.17 -> 1.5.18


It is a standalone testcase, unfortunately it depends on the absolute path
it resides in. To reproduce unpack perlfreeze.zip to d: and then
do:
$ cd /cygdrive/d/perlfreeze
$ ./perltest.pl

and see it hang. (In rxvt/bash)

I've downloaded this and it does just sit there but I don't know how long I'm supposed to wait. Is it supposed to print a lot of stuff right away?
Yes, it's supposed to produce a cab file while reporting what it is doing.

I realized that if you press CTRL-c it really starts to build the cab file,
but it doesn't produce any screen output.

You can uncomment the
  $extracmd='sleep 1 && ';
line in the script and see what should happen.
