1.5.25: cygwin executeables are crashing from time to time (Windows 2003 Server Ver 5.2 Build 3790 Service Pack )

[Stefan Walter]

The cygwin processes are crashing on the "Windows 2003 Server Ver 5.2
Build 3790 Service Pack". It does not happen regulary, just sometimes but
then in series of lets say 5-10 exectuions. This happens on multiple
machines, all with the same OS, therefore i think it is a bug rather than
a setup problem.

I have already removed cygwin and installed it fresh - this did not change
anything.

i have seen the crashes for: bash, sh, ls, cp, ...

Here are some examples of the Windows Event Log:

Faulting application cp.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module cygwin1.dll,
version 1005.25.0.0, fault address 0x00047699.

Faulting application bash.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module
cygwin1.dll, version 1005.25.0.0, fault address 0x00047699.

Faulting application ls.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module cygwin1.dll,
version 1005.25.0.0, fault address 0x00047699.

NOTE: the address is always similar and points to something in the
cygwin1.dll.


Is there any workaround, or how can we fix this? This problem is critical
for us.

Regards Stefan
