There’s a new POSIX compatibility layer for Windows called midipix ( www.midipix.org) which implements POSIX fork() with NT fork, however after 8~ forks, forking breaks when Avast is installed on the computer, disabling the shields (all of them) doesn’t help either, however uninstalling Avast and rebooting resolves the issue. Getting this solved one way or another would be great.
Reported to Avast.
This may help Avast find the problem faster:
Submitting a support file using the Avast Support Tool https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB33#artTitle
Forgot to add… the author of midipix can be reached via email writeonce (at) midipix.org or on Freenode IRC channel #midipix
bump Haven’t heard anything whatsoever on getting this issue actually resolved…
did you submit a support file ???
Done! but that’s the thing though, it doesn’t leave behind anything unusual, just fails on calls to NTDLL. however with a recent change done to midipix; now forks succeed when the program being run is ‘deep scanned’… ???
