I'm experiencing regular seg faults, often while using gdb but not 
always (switching between buffers is another big offender). I'm not sure 
what other information I can provide, other than the EIP=610CF707 
reported in the .stackdump file...

Also, gdb-mi seems to be alpha quality, is it supposed to be fully 
usable and stable at this point? (and is there a way to disable it and 
return to --annotate=3?)

There have been recent problems reported with gdb-mi, so there will 
probably be bugfixes before emacs-24.1 is released.  I don't know 
offhand of a way to return to --annotate=3.

mintty randomly switches keyboard-layout

Hi,

I notice quite often that my german keyboard-layout in mintty gets changed  
into an english one. Alt-F8 (Reset) does not bring back the german layout,  
so I can only exit and restart mintty. I think it mostly happens when  
doing Copy/Paste-operations using Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins but I'm not sure  
about this.

Is there a way to avoid this or to reset the layout back to german?

I'm using mintty 1.0.3 on cygwin 1.7.13.

I'd suspect a system-wide shortcut for switching keyboard layout.
Those are well hidden in the Control Panel, under 'Region and
Languages -> Keyboard and Languages -> Change Keyboard -> Advanced Key
Settings' (on an English Windows 7). Looks like the default shortcut
for switching between input languages is 'Left Alt + Shift', which
might collide with shortcuts in terminal applications.

True - it was set this way. I've deactivated it now and will see if it  
helps. Maybe I switched accidentally when doing Copy/Paste.

ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add => Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

% ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

This happens with the following combinations currently available via
setup.exe: cygwin 1.7.13-1, 1.7.14-2, openssh 5.9p1-1 and
openssh 6.0p1-1.

Running it like so...

% eval `ssh-agent`
% ssh-add

... works as expected.

Rolling back to the 20120220 snapshot (1.7.11-ish) "fixes" it (at
least with openssh 5.9p1-1).  I haven't yet tried to bisect further.

Possibly related (similar symptoms)...

I have not tried to find an openssh 5.8 package to try.
