Re: Latest cygwin snapshots brake XWin

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Dirk,

The fact that the new cygserver support for SHM in cygwin1.dll is 
enabled in CVS might have something to do with your problem:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-11/msg00354.html

This may have nothing at all to do with your problem, but I would 
suspect that our linking with cygipc (which exports some duplicate 
functions now) would cause a problem with the new cygwin1.dll from CVS. 
 You would have to rebuild all of our tree and prevent it from linking 
with cygipc in order to figure out if this is the root of your problem. 
 As it is at the moment, I'm not going to look into it because I am 
satisfied that I know what the problem is.  If you look into it further, 
please post to this list.  No need to post anywhere else... anyone 
interested follows this list.
