RE: SetErrorMode

["Benson Margulies" <bim2003 at basistech dot com>]

Hmm. I have a Windows 'scheduled job'. It runs a zsh.exe script. It runs
cygwin GNU make. Things that launch under there get hung with 'critical
error' dialogs. Even when I add an extra layer of program that calls
SetErrorMode and then CreateProcess outside the shell script.

The most frequent offenders are Java programs, but I can't find any
evidence that the Sun JVM calls SetErrorMode.

You're a little short on details here but to answer your question, the
code for the Cygwin DLL only makes one call to SetErrorMode() for
SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS.  

HTH,
