Using SETUP 2.427 (and re-downloaded it just today to make sure it wasn't

While downloading the Xorg stuff, I get a message box
Microsoft Visual C Runtime: "The application has requested termination in an
unusual manner . . "

That's not good... Definitely sounds like a bug.


And that's all for that.

Repeats with perfect consistency, but I'm not sure it's always during
the same file download.

Q: HOW TO DEBUG THIS -- I know Setup is not, itself, a Cygwin app; so I
wouldn't expect gdb to be much help.

gdb works just fine on non-Cygwin apps, as long as you have the debug symbols in them. Build setup from source, and you should be able to debug it.

I've put a debug build at: http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/

should that be easier for you.

IIRC, that error message means abort() was called.

Max.
