Folks,

I am trying to run an application built for the cygwin-x86-debug architecture, and I am seeing a very strange behaviour.  The application run fine, until control returns to the iocsh prompt.  I have an epicsThreadSleep at the end of my st.cmd file, so the application runs for a while before I get the prompt. As soon as I get the prompt it appears that the EPICS threads are hung waiting for console input!  If I keep my finger on the Enter key on the keyboard, so I keep sending CR characters, the application runs fine.  As soon as I release my finger from the key the application freezes!

If I had to guess what the problem was, I would suspect a problem with readline.  Has anyone else run IOC applications under cygwin-x86-debug, and if so have you seen this problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
