Description Roger Leigh 2004-03-29 16:11:39 UTC 
tests/child-test fails on Cygwin.  It appears to be stuck in
KERNEL32!GetPrivateProfileStructW(), called from cygwin1 getprogname().

Using ps, I see that 3 children are created, then after a few seconds, one child
disappears, followed by another a few seconds later.  However, one child never
terminates, and the test runs indefinitely.  I got the above information with
gdb, but it wouldn't give me a full backtrace like under Linux.

I'll see if I can get some further with this, but otherwise I'm stuck.

Regards,
Roger

This is still a problem with the current glib CVS.  I'm going to have to see if 
some Cygwin folks can help with this one.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2004-11-08 15:49:53 UTC 
Does this still occur with GLib 2.4.8/2.5.6 ?
Comment 4 Gerrit P. Haase 2004-11-08 16:26:48 UTC 
There is no 2.4.8 release yet.  Is there a patch available which I should apply
to 2.4.7 and run the tests then?
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2004-11-16 06:00:50 UTC 
You can either look at 

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glib/glib/gmain.c?r1=1.118.2.2&r2=1.118.2.3&diff_format=c

or wait until 2.4.8 gets released (which should be around end of november)
Comment 6 Gerrit P. Haase 2005-01-06 13:14:04 UTC 
Seems to be resolved with 2.4.8 on Cygwin 1.5.12
Comment 7 Roger Leigh 2005-01-06 16:07:12 UTC 
I can confirm it's fixed in glib 2.6.0 as well.
Comment 8 Tor Lillqvist 2005-01-06 16:33:15 UTC 
If this is fixed, let's resolve the bug then.
