Call for testing Cygwin snapshot

[Peter Rehley]

Hi,

I've retried the problem I mentioned in this thread http://cygwin.com/ 
ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00053.html and the problem still exists in the  
20051207 snapshot, but it now seems easier to reproduce.  Before I  
had to run "ps -ef" several times before the test_configure script  
died, but now it only takes one or two times.

The recap is that on windows 2000 when I run test_configure (see  
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-11/msg00000.html for the script) and  
the in a separate command prompt type "ps -ef" the test_configure  
script exits and issues the message "fork: Resource temporarily  
unavailable"

I am attaching a strace of the test_configure script with the  
failure, and a ps -ef strace that caused a similar failure in the  
test_configure script.

Sorry for the large size of the test_configure stace output.  I cut  
out a large portion and left what I thought might be helpful.

Peter
