Hello all,
Today I upgraded to cygwin 1.5.14-1, and now latex coredumps
immediate upon execution. It doesn't matter what latex
source file is used, or even if none is used:
$ latex
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Latex worked fine under the version available in December 2004
(sorry, I don't remember the version number). I looked through
the FAQ and email archive since December, and I find no
mention of any latex problems, so I'm not sure if I've
installed something wrong. I use latex extensively, so any
help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem, latex core dumps as above (WinXP SP2).
I tried running latex with strace:
$ strace latex
One or more CON code pages invalid for given keyboard code
And a windows saying:
Title: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

The OP info seems like ASCII text: cifie
GDB has this to say:
$ gdb latex
GNU gdb 6.3.50_2004-12-28-cvs (cygwin-special)
[gdb general info snip]
(gdb) run

I cannot see anyway for me to fix latex myself (config file or similar)
using the above info :-(
