Please test the latest developer snapshots at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ which should have "Release Candidate" quality.
Here's an easily reproducible problem with the 2011-12-05 cygwin1.dll snapshot:
1. Download cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 .
2. Start mintty from the Cygwin Terminal shortcut.
3. tar -C/ -xf /path/to/cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 --exclude=usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
An hourglass appears and tar doesn't run. I'm on W7-64 if that makes a difference.
Works for me. I just tried from mintty with bash as login shell as well as with tcsh as login shell. I even left out the --exclude and it worked ;)
Does that really occur reproducible on your machine, every try?
Yes. And I just tried twice more with the same behavior. Earlier today I had a similar thing occur on a different machine, on which the 2011-12-04 dll was installed instead of the 2011-12-05 dll. On that machine (again W7-64), the mintty window simply disappeared when I gave the tar command.
Hmm, that's weird.
The only other detail I can think of is that I started mintty by right-clicking on the shortcut and choosing "Run as administrator".
Still works for me. That's puzzeling. Any chance to debug that? Stracing, attaching with GDB, building your own debug-enabled Cygwin, etc?
