Re: xinted rsync bluescreen
Update:
I have now tested my hacked cygwin1.dll (without the
FindFirstChangeNotification of "/etc" stuff) quite extensively, on three
different machines that previously experienced quite frequent BSODs when
init was running.
No BSODs so far!
Thus, it seems quite obvious to me that the code in
init_cygheap::etc_changed is to "blame"; it must trigger some obscure
windows bug that sometimes causes a bsod when files under /etc are accessed.

That seems to be it! [touching wood]
I added a "return 0" at the top of init_cygheap::etc_changed() (so that
the whole FindFirstChangeNotification/DuplicateHandle business never
happens). So far, no crashes - despite my best efforts running chkconfig
rsync on/off, /sbin/telinit 3/1.
Thanks for the hint!
