mintty cannot open as Adminstrator #422

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to open mintty as Administrators, either via desktop shortcut or via 
windows explorer
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A mintty window should open ready to use.  Instead I get a window that reads:
Failed to fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable.
DLL rebasing may be required. See 'rebaseall --help'.
and any key closes the window.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
all latest versions:

mintty --version
mintty 1.1.3

cygcheck -V
cygcheck (cygwin) 1.7.28

Windows 8.1 Pro x64

Please provide any additional information below.

We have two Thinkpad Carbon X1 Touch PC's.  Both are updated regularly.  This 
problem just started occuring on one PC.  On both PCs, mintty opens fine when 
run as the user on that PC.

ash rebaseall runs fine on both PCs under Adminstrators cmd.
updatedb is run daily over the entire C: drive (just one SSD drive in the 
Carbin X1).  I do not see any other cygwin1.dll files.  That is, We have both 
C:/cygwin/ and C:/cygwin64/, so each has its own cygwon1.dll fron its own setup.

I have reinstalled mintty and also the cygwin base, but no difference in 
solving this problem?

I can open C:/cygwin/Cygwin.bat just fine as Adminstrators on both PCs.

Thanks.

Lester

P.S.  I've rebooted several times.

Well, all day yesterday I had this problem.  Today there is no such problem.

This resource issue does occasionally happen on cygwin when starting a program, 
fortunately not as often anymore as it used to.
It has nothing to do with either mintty or running in administrator mode.
Suggest to close the issue here.
