- Subject: gitk problem with cygwin.dll v1.7.7-1
Whenever I do this:
1. Launch gitk from a cygwin bash shell (either using cygwin.bat or
with mintty),
2. Exit the cygwin bash shell, and then
3. Pick File > Reload from the gitk menu,
I get the following error dialog:
Error parsing revisions: 1 [main] git 5724 C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe:***
fatal error- couldn't initialize fd 0 for /dev/tty0

Version information:
Vista Enterprise SP2 32-bit
$ cygcheck -c cygwin git gitk
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
cygwin 1.7.7-1 OK
git 1.7.1-1 OK
gitk 1.7.1-1 OK
I believe the upgrade to the 1.7.7-1 dll is somehow related to the
onset of the problem.
Not an apples to apples comparison, but when I try the same thing on a
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit machine with cygwin 1.7.5-1 (same versions
of git and gitk), I don't have this problem.
On a (perhaps) related note: I'm not in the habit of exiting the
shell. But what now happens (sometimes) is that when I switch focus
from the gitk window to the cygwin shell window and begin typing, I
see only the first character of what I typed, and then "logout", at
which point the window is unresponsive to commands. It still echoes
what I type, but with no prompt or apparent side effects.
That is, suppose gitk has focus. I decide to type "git branch" in the
cygwin shell. I click the title bar of the cygwin shell, start typing
"git .." and see this instead:
$glogout
Then I have to kill the window, and start a new shell.
It could be BLODA, I suppose, but at first gloss I don't see any
unusual DLLs loaded when examining the wish84.exe process in
Sysinternals Process Explorer.
