STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION in strlen running a vanilla uw-imapd

[cw at tocaido dot net]

Hello,

I am trying to compile the latest release of uw-imapd under Cygwin and
Windows XP but the program crash after the first command.

This is with the vanilla source from upstream. I know that it is not
supposed to work very well but yesterday I did the same thing on a
Windows Seven box and I did not have any problem.

This is the output from ldd:

[15:06][/tmp/imap-2007e/imapd] > ldd ./imapd.exe
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c900000)
        kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll
        (0x7c800000)
        cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)
        ADVAPI32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.DLL
        (0x77dd0000)
        RPCRT4.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/RPCRT4.dll
        (0x77e70000)
        Secur32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/Secur32.dll
        (0x77fe0000)

(I am not using the SSL option)

Here is the stackdump:

(I have used "aaa hhh" as an example nonsensical comman, but I get the
crash whatever I use as an input)


Using GDB on a coredump ends with:

#0  0x611097f3 in strlen () from C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll


Now I am stuck ... Seeing that it is not a program guaranteed to work
under cygwin I would not have asked on the mailing list, but for the
fact that a) it is working under Win7 but not under WinXP and b) GDB
seems to say that the problem is in the cygwin1.dll.

Well, b) could just be me not being able to use GDB .... 

One more thing, I have made a search and I am pretty sure that there is
only one cygwin1.dll on my system.


Any pointer would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Davide D.
