Another Update to threads/IO problem on Cygwin
Joshua Gatcomb
around in /tmp that I kept as a backup. I swapped it
with the current cygwin1.dll just to see if it would
make the IO problem go away and much to my happy
surprise - it did.
Details:
cygwin1.dll-1.5.10-3 - previous stable build, works
great
cygwin1.dll-1.5.11-1 - current stable build, blows up
I will be pinging the Cygwin list momentarily to see
if they have any insight.

I didn't get a response from the Cygwin list, but I
asked one of the Cygwin knowledgeable monks at the
Monastery (http://www.perlmonks.org). They indicated
there was a major problem with 1.5.11-1 with threads
losing output (my problem exactly) and that it was
corrected with one of the latest snapshots
(http://cygwin.com/snapshots/). I downloaded it and
tried it - everything is working great.
make test - all tests pass
make testj - all tests pass
Both work even with some aggressive optimizations
passed to Configure.pl
All is once again right in the world ;-)
