Hello,
I've been getting occasional "Error 127" from make -jN on seemingly
random jobs. After reducing the set of jobs and eventually eliminating
make, I've arrived to this one-liner:
bash -c 'true & true & wait -n || echo 1: $? && wait -n || echo 2: $?'
When run repeatedly, the second "wait -n" often reports 127.
I've reproduced this in the following environments:
* Cygwin 3.5.1, Windows 10 22H2 x64
* Cygwin 3.4.6, Windows 10 22H2 x64 and Windows 7 x64
I couldn't reproduce it in Cygwin 3.3.6 (WOW64) on Windows 7 x64.
Thanks,
Alexey
