John,
the uname command by itself does not hang or return empty, it is only in
the process of assigning the output of the command(any command) to a
variable that it hangs.
Here is the output of your example:
bash-2.05b$ /bin/uname -s; echo $?
CYGWIN_NT-5.1
0
I have attached the file cygcheck.out which contains the out from the
command "cygcheck -svr"
Antoine,
I don't think that your problem is exactly the same as mine either. You
problem, from what I gather in your post, only happens in a loop and
possibly on a dual CPU(SMP) machine. I am getting this on a single
command on a laptop(not SMP).
Everyone,
If anybody wants to point to bash as the problem, let me also point out
that I have been able to replicate the problem in zsh, csh, and sh.
