Hello, Building tar seems to trigger a Blue Screen Of Death on WinXP. I installed Cygwin (see attached for system information). I then downloaded the source for tar-1.22-1 and executed: cygport tar-1.22-1 compile 2>&1 | tee /tmp/file The source code is unpacked and configure starts. During the configure step the machine blue screens. Upon reboot I look at the end of /tmp/file and I find: $ tail /tmp/file checking if environ is properly declared... yes checking for error_at_line... no checking for working fcntl.h... no (bad O_NOATIME) checking for struct stat.st_blocks... yes checking for working GNU fnmatch... no checking whether isblank is declared... yes checking whether __fpending is declared... no checking how to determine the number of pending output bytes on a stream... fp->_p - fp->_bf._base checking for fseeko... yes checking whether getcwd handles long file names properly... In /usr/src/tar-1.22-1/src and I find the results of the getcwd test: A very deep directory tree called conftest3 (conftest3/conftest3/conftest3/...) The source for conftest (conftest.c - attached) Compiled binary contest.exe In Cygwin attempting to cd to the bottom of the conftest3 directory tree will yield a BSOD. Running conftest.exe will yield a BSOD. A little experimentation with conftest.c shows the error happens during the creation of the directory tree. The Windows native tools are unable to correctly manage the conftest3 tree (I cannot remove it or descend to the bottom) The only information I have been able to get out of the Windows crash dumps is the fault happens somewhere in the ntfs.sys driver. Thank you. -- George Henson Contractor, General Dynamics Information Technology Joint Medical Logistics Functional Development Center Email to: george dot henson2 at us dot army dot mil
