This is probably a Cygwin issue and not a NCL issue, but I am curious to<br>
see if anyone else has seen this error and found a workaround for it. I<br>
am using NCL 6.3.0 on Cygwin 2.1.0 on Windows 7. Whenever I use the<br>
"print" or "systemfunc" NCL commands I get the respective errors:<br>
<br>
0 [main] ncl 6820 fork: child -1 - forked process 7360 died<br>
unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 0x0000135, errno 11<br>
fatal:Pager failed1<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
52 [main] ncl 7576 fork: child -1 - forked process died unexpectedly,<br>
retry 0, exit code 0x0000135, errno 11<br>
fatal:systemfunc: cannot create child process:[errno=11]<br>
<br>
The "gsn_open_wks" function also produces a similar error. NCL was<br>
working fine under an older version of Cygwin, but I recently upgraded<br>
my Cygwin version and always get the above errors when using NCL. I<br>
tried the ash /usr/bin/rebaseall command<br>

did not fix the issue (it did on the old Cygwin version). Any tips are<br>
appreciated because with this issue, NCL has very limited functionality<br>
on my Windows computer.<br>
thank you,<br>
