Unable to execute Cygwin application within UDF format

[Sam Lin]

Hi ,

I will see the problem on WIN10 or WIN SERVER, the duplicate steps are as
follows:

1. Write a simple code 'hello world'  program  and   compiled the
executable file using GCC.

//  hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello World\n");
    return 0;
}

$ gcc hello.c -o hello.exe

2. Format the specified USB drive using command prompt.
  C:\> format <USB Drive Letter>: /fs:UDF /q

3. Put the executable files hello.exe and cygwin1.dll into the UDF format
flash drive and execute.
We will find that the execution error occurs with cygwin v3.2.x and above.

F:\>hello.exe
      0 [main] hello (16224) F:\hello.exe: *** fatal error - add_item
("\??", "/", ...) failed, errno 22

This error does not occur in v3.1.7.
Hope this will be resolved in the future.

Thanks,
