Marco,
I was unable to reproduce your problem on Win2k SP2 (cygwin-1.3.20-1). I
used the attached program. It compiled fine (with "gcc -Wall") and ran
correctly, with the following output:
$ date && ./lt
Sun Feb 23 20:41:44 EST 2003
44:41:20 23/1/103 (0) [53] 0
$
The information you've provided is really not enough to even venture a
guess as to what went wrong. Please provide at least the following:
- The output of "cygcheck -svr", as an uncompressed text attachment, as
per <http://cygwin.com/bugs.html>
- The exact compilation command line
- The backtrace of the failed program (either from gdb, or from addr2line)
- The output of "strace yourprog" (probably compressed, it might be large)
Feel free to look over the last two for clues before sending them to the
list.
Igor
