This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

  Emacs in trunk built with Cygwin environment hangs
  when you try to complete path name after double slashes.

  M-x find-file
  (In the minibuffer) //[TAB]

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

Could it be that it just waits for the network?  If you leave it alone
for a few minutes, does it come back to life?

The // is the beginning of the UNC, so Emacs could be trying to access
the network.  If that's true, it will time-out after a few minutes.

Does it "hang hard" or can you interrupt the hang with C-g?
Most likely it's just waiting for some network access, in which case the
only/best thing we can do is to make sure C-g lets you interrupt the wait.

No.  Sending QUIT signal from outside the process returns control to Emacs.
Tracing with gdb revealed that Emacs blocks in the function `file_name_completion_stat'
at `stat' call with the argument fullname = "//bin" after the previous `lstat' call
with same arguments returns -1 with errno = EINTR.

The errno = EINTR looks strange -- unless you also interrupted it
under GDB.

Could this be a Cygwin issue?  Would it be a good idea to ask on the
Cygwin list about calling `stat' with an argument that begins with two
slashes?

Is this still a problem with a current Emacs?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
