What is the status of this topic? A failure report exists
($gmane/245170), and I am aware of Duy's $gmane/245034 but that was
where the discussion stalled. Is everybody waiting for everybody
else to get the discussion unstuck?
I still have to cross-check Duy's patch. I'll hopefully get to it in the
next days and report back.
The test suite passes with Duy's patch ($gmane/245034), but t5302 fails
with this patch with a MinGW build. The patches touch the Cygwin
configuration, but I cannot test a Cygwin build.
I haven't tested these on cygwin yet. However, only the old version of
cygwin is affected (newer cygwin has a thread-safe pread) and, since I
no longer have an old installation, I _can't_ test it anyway. :(
(I updated cygwin earlier today and received a brand new cygwin dll
with today's date!).
I have, however, lost track of what the objective of these patches is.
Is the threaded version significantly faster, and these patches are
worth it?
Indeed. I haven't seen any numbers.
ATB,

CYGWIN:
I managed to test under cygwin 1.7, commit
03d9d2990b718ef6d859405af399f549c186b4d:
Test was OK.
MINWW: t5302 failed (same what Johannas reported)
After reverting 9d66f2d97a97e08ae8d7c86 t5302 passed under MINGW
