Hi

This is rather informal report as I couldn't reproduce this problem in any
way.

I worked with latest Cygwin release of bash started directly with no
command line options.

bash-2.05b$ ptx.exe

bash-2.05b$ man ptx
    260 [main] bash 21168 slow_pid_reuse: couldn't create last_fork_proc,
Win32
error 6
   8590 [main] bash 21168 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 12756, Win32
error
6
  19368 [main] bash 21168 fork_parent: child 12756 died waiting for
longjmp befo
re initialization
bash: fork: No such file or directory

bash-2.05b$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 duli2 1.5.17s(0.128/4/2) 20050510 12:11:42 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

bash-2.05b$ ps

    21168       1   21168      21168    2 1000 23:42:25 /usr/bin/bash
    25060   21168   25060      25676    2 1000 00:00:16 /usr/bin/ps

After few minutes, some additional info appeared on the screen:

bash-2.05b$ D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe (12756): *** WFSO timed out after
longjmp
D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe (12756): *** WFSO timed out after longjmp

Is this report useful in any way? Should I provide cygcheck output
(there's nothing really interesting).
