Re: execution of C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe failing during process fork.

Hi,

I am using Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 1.7.11(0.260/5/3) 2012-02-24 14:05 i686 Cygwin) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 X64 Service Pack 2 .

When I invoke C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe from the command prompt it fails intermittently with the following error.

$ C:/cygwin/bin/sh.exe -c 'date'
29196764 [main] sh 3588 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly, retry

What are the possible causes for this error. Would reinstalling cygwin help ?

thanks,
Prakash


start from here for a full report:


Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html

it could be a BLODA or a rebase issue.


Have you the same problem from Mintty instead of MS command prompt ?
