Subject: Re: Crash bug on win32-cygwin-x86-any builds

Try running the excutable (the x86-any), and run it doing 'real' work.

To test, simply make a few lines 32 bytes long of hex chars, and test it 
using raw-md5 or md5_gen(0).

The builds I was doing would crash in an instant, doing 'real' work.  But 
ONLY the x86-any build.

Jim.

  John-Dev,



  I successfully compiled JtR 1.7.8 jumbo-6-RC5 with patches 001-005 in 
Cygwin with win32-cygwin-x86-any and win32-cygwin-x86-sse.   (My gcc is 
v4.6.0)



  It required no modifications.

  This may be 'similar' to what Alex is seeing on the Mac OSX (or may be 
totally different).  This crash ONLY happens on win32-cygwin-x86-any.  All 
other builds, work just fine.



  I have gotten it to work.  If I build john.o without -O2, things work. 
Otherwise, I get a core, with this type message:



  john 3692 exception::handle: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted 
stack)



  There is a john.exe.stackdump, but there is nothing in there, other than 
text like the line above (probably corrupted stack).





  NO other builds I have show this problem.  However, if I do a full build, 
then remove -O2 from the CFLAGS, then rm john.o so it rebuilds just that 
file, perform the make, and the file is happy as can be.



  When I run the 'broken' version under gdb (I know nothing about gdb, so 
this will be a trial and error thing), it simply bails out, listing:



  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

  0x0045bb27 in ?? ()



  So it appears GDB is not getting any form of stack frame.



  Jim.
