Cygwin host.exe version 9.11.9 works with errors tcc30b18

[MCline]

Anyone else having issues with some of the Cygwin commands, like host.exe? When you run it, the program does spit out the host details but hangs with multiple error codes and arguments such as below
app.c:827: isc_app_shutdown() pthread_kill: Invalid argument
socket.c:4927: isc_thread_join() failed
timer.c:991: isc_thread_join() failed

I know how to fix this, have JpSoft build in the host command

Are you only having problems running it in TCC / Take Command, or in CMD as well?

(It would require a pretty catastrophic Windows bug / security hole if it only happens when run by TCC.)

Interesting. I have been a user of Cygwin for many years, and I have a lot of their packages installed, but I did not have the "host" command. It took a little digging to find, but it is part of the "bind-utils" package. Once installed, it works fine for me under TCC or CMD or Powershell.
