Subject: Cygwin --fork problems seem to be solved
Solar,
What is the reason you went with flock() for file locking? I'm guessing
you had specific reasons.
>From the looks of it so far, Cygwin works perfectly fine with --fork
when using fcntl() locking instead of flock(). We tried this after
establishing that the problem we've seen all the time is that flock()
deadlocks. This is obviously a bug in Cygwin that should be fixed, but
that's another story. We will implement fcntl locking an alternative and
use it for Cygwin at least, possibly others?
