I'm confused. Something is wrong with my Cygwin configuration that has slowed Cygwin operation down drastically. The performance issue follows several problems with 'bash' that occurred while running nested scripts. The residual effect is slow performance. I've tried 'rebaseall', and that too failed (although frankly, I've never understood when that's called for or what it fixes, except in the most abstract of senses.). (See attached 'Rebaseall_Out.txt.)
The "Bash problem" generates a complaint and a stack trace. The complaint is:
The stack traces are listed in the attached file -- Bash_Problem_Output.txt
The highest level script that generated the problem was 'mkperlmanpdfs' (attached). 'mkperlmanpdfs', in turn, invokes 'man2pdf' (attached) repeatedly.
During several of the 'man2pdf' invocations, errors are reported by 'man'/'groff' in rendering the 'man' "page" to Postscript. I've learned to live with these, and only rarely do they actually lead to omissions in the eventual PDF file. No big deal. In at least two of the cases, however, Bash itself seems to be reporting an error.
I've tried shutting down all Cygwin/'mintty' windows, and killing all residual Cygwin processes/apps, using Task Manager. No help, whatsoever. I tried rebooting. That did help.
I've also attached Cygcheck output. (The 'cygcheck' follows the reboot.)
