then with a few trial runs it seems to work fine. Thoughts?

does disabling virus scanner and firewalls help?

[rogerdpack]

don't know if this is old news, but was able to overcome this error:


C:\dev\rubyinstaller\config>git pull
0 [main] sh.exe" 7316 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
sh.exe.stackdump


by following this trail:
http://lists-archives.org/mingw-users/12776-msys-sh-stackdump-during-make.html

and copying the contents of

MSYS-1.0.11-20090105-dll.tar.gz

into my git stuffs.

now it works as expected.

Could you please check out

http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/web/msys-1.0.dll

uploaded by yours truly? (This dll has the advantage that it contains
Steffen's changes for the path mangling, which fixes ssh remotes such as
"repo.or.cz:/srv/git/git/dscho.git".)

Thanks,
Dscho

It seems to work splendidly also. There is a size difference, it
seems--this one and the current default arer 5MB, the other about
750KB.
Thanks for working on that.

Hi,

Good catch... I think it might be debugging information. Will try to find
some time to investigate next week.

You're welcome,

Hi,

Actually, the riddle is easily solved: we need to "strip.exe
msys-1.0.dll"...

Ciao,

This may be fixed in the newest Git installer. If not, is it possible that
you have
a QuickCam driver installed?

I am also getting a lot! of stack trace problems... This happens with a
lot of
commands. If I run git rebase, git mergetool... a few other things.
Almost to the
point of making it unusable.

Unfortunately, stacktraces on Windows are all but helpful (just check the
contents of
the attachment with the initial report and join the groaning). So it would
be more
helpful if you could install the net installer, remove the -O2 flag from
/git/Makefile, rebuild Git and run it in a debugger. If you need
assistance, let's
make a date -- via private mail, if you please.

Comment #9 on issue 190 by cestrauss: 0 [main] sh 4540 handle_exceptions:
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=190

To get a meaningful stack trace of a crash in a MSYS program:

1) Search the stack dump for the name of the program that caused the crash.

2) Convert the crash address (ip register) into a file:line number by
running

addr2line -e <program> <address>.

3) The whole stack trace can be recovered that way, by looking at the
addresses in
the "Function" column. Note that some addresses could be from the
msys-1.0.dll instead.

4) If you get no results, you may have to recompile the failing program
with debug
info enabled (-g flag) and save the result just before stripping the
symbols from it.

Cesar

Thanks for that valuable piece of information! But for the love of God, I
only get
'??:0' from addr2line, even if I use /bin/addr2line. Are there some secret
tricks?

Well guess what. I tried running the net installer and it crashes. Guess
how?

Please run:

nm sh.exe
nm msys-1.0.dll

Does it show the address of any function?

If yes, are they in range of the address you asked addr2line for?

Perhaps it would be best to supply the OP with unstripped versions of
sh.exe and
msys-1.0.dll, so one can be sure the addresses from his stack dump will
match with
the line number information you have.

One such unstripped version of sh.exe can be found within the msysCORE
tarball from
the MSYS download page:

For what it's worth, I saw these sh.exe crashes until I uninstalled Google
Desktop.
Whether it was DLL hell or network stack injection that was actually
causing the
segfaults, I couldn't tell you.

I had the same issues. I also am a Google Desktop user, although the problem
persisted after stopping GD. Maybe uninstall should have worked.
Anyway, after a complete remove of git install, and reinstall of newest
version of
git, the problems were gone, anyway for 2 days now...

Okay, a bit frustrating, as we seem to be unable to do anything about it,

To fix this on my machine, I extracted the file referenced here:
http://lists-archives.org/mingw-users/12776-msys-sh-stackdump-during-make.html
into C:\Program Files\Git, overwriting the existing exe & dll files.

sh.exe.stackdump are now things of the past!

You know, the funny thing is that we actually ship the 20090105 version of
msys-1.0.dll (it would have been nice to say so instead of posting a blank
link).

We actually have a few patches on top of the upstream version. You cannot
get the
benefits of those patches with the strategy you chose.

as a note, seems that google desktop can cause this (as well as older
versions of
msys.dll)

maybe tortoise svn could, too, or other programs that read files in the
background?

I can confirm that myself and a fellow developer also experienced this
exact same
problem after installing Google Desktop.

I am running Git 1.6.2 & he is running Git 1.5.6.

kwen.peterson: your report is very helpful. However, I have no idea how to
proceed
from here. Probably "rebasing the .dll" helps, but what address to? And
how to
guarantee that there will be no other complication next year?

The problem happens to me from the git bash shell, in `git stash list`. I
do have a
Google Desktop installed.
