Win98SE notes
-------------
- Every time a makefile runs xcopy, there's a segfault in kernel32.dll,
which hangs the bash shell with an endless succession of error boxes.
The only way I found to break out of this was to bring up the debugger,
close it, then type Ctrl+C at the hung bash shell. The bash shell
appears to be fine at that point, but you can never close it (short of
killing it via the task manager).
Same thing if xcopy32 is used instead.
xcopy works OK directly from a bash shell. The segfaults occur if it's
run via a makefile, or via a shell script. Guessing a problem with I/O
redirection, since some other apps can't see keyboard input before the
hung stuff is killed.
Workaround: xxcopy works fine <http://www.xxcopy.com/>; free for
personal use, but not for commercial use. Rename it to xcopy.exe and
get it into your path before the native xcopy, or fiddle the XCOPY
defn in common.mk to use xxcopy instead of xcopy.
