[Bug 1660] New: ssh makes use of a shell which fails causing vista to open a failed program window
|

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660
Summary: ssh makes use of a shell which fails causing vista to
open a failed program window
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.1p1
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs [at] mindrot
ReportedBy: mcconkeyb [at] shaw
I am running ssh in a cygwin shell in windows vista. When I use the X11
forwarding feature (either -x or -Y) it appears that ssh opens another
shell using sh.exe and uses this shell to run the xauth.exe program.
When this program returns it appears to be some type of a failed
condtion (not sure just assuming here). Then the sh.exe program stops
and closes. This causes vista to generate a "program has stopped
working" window and prompt. The same thing happens under XP, but XP
does not create a user prompt, but instead just lets the sh.exe program
die unannounced.
I am hoping that someone can change the way ssh deals with the closing
of the sh.exe shell to stop the windows user prompt from occuring.
I have spent at least 12 hours searching for solutions to this problem
and have seen it reported several times, without a solution provided
(well at least not a useful solution). Just a lot of finger pointing
between cygwin, windows, and openssh.
