RE: Problem with releases since -37

I did some more testing based on your suggestions.  I first tried the
XWin-Test91-DEBUG version of the server with the released version of the
dll.  That failed as before and gave me a new stackdump.  I then put in
cygwin1-20030602.dll as /bin/cygwin1.dll.  I restarted windows to make sure
that the correct dll was used.  I ran with the XWin-Test91-DEBUG version of
the server again and it gave me Microsoft's "do you want to report this" box
again, but did not produce a stack dump.  I tried the 042 version again, and
got the same results ("do you want to report this" and no stackdump).
Putting the last working version (037) back in with the new dll works fine.
Anyone have any other ideas that I can try?

Since nobody seems able to reproduce your failure, you might try debugging it, at least to the point of failure, yourself. You should be able to recompile the XWin.exe in debug mode and start it up in in gdb, and when the crash occurs you should get an annotated function trace with add'l debug info...

I think the -DEBUG version is just one with Ralf's new parameter checks,
not really a debug version, so you'll really have to recompile with the -g
option...
