Encounter "fatal error - NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000077" when execute kinit in cygwin

I have mintty 1.2-beta1(x86_64-pc-cygwin) installed on my Windows 7 64 bit. Then I installed krb5-workstation version 1.12.1-2 to cygwin using Cygwin Net Release Setup Program.

But when I execute kinit or klist in cygwin, I got an error:

$ kinit
      1 [main] kinit 3912 C:\cygwin64\bin\kinit.exe: *** fatal error - NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000077
Hangup

Restarting cygwin or restarting windows didn't work either.

Could anybody help?

AVG seems to be causing the exception including a rsync.exe.stackdump.

If you get on the server side:

rsync: safe_read failed to read 1 bytes [Receiver]: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(276) [Receiver=3.1.1]

or client side:

rsync.exe  fatal error - NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000058

try disabling AVG. If it works when disabled, I added the rsync.exe as an AVG program exception and rsync is fine again.

I had the same error when starting xterm, which just appears to flash briefly, then exit producing an xterm.exe.stackdump file. If you give xterm the -hold option you will see the NtCreateEvent error. The root cause of my problem was interference from AVG anti virus, and adding c:\cygwin64\bin\xterm.exe to AVG's exception list made xterm work again.

I wanted to run gdm3 on my Windows 7 desktop and ran into the same problems as you had. After some fiddeling, I got a working solution that I'm (very) happy with, so I wanted to share this with you. I did the following (you need to do this only once):

  • Start the Cygwin Terminal (on your Windows PC)
  • From the terminal, run xlaunch.exe and follow the dialogs (I ended up using XDMCP; a good article about configuring that can be found here)
  • Safe the resulting config file to your desktop

From now on, you can just click on the dekstop icon to launch the remote (gdm3) desktop.

I'm not sure if it helps, but I had the same error code when I was trying to install CPANminus in Cygwin 64-bit. However the installation worked fine in the 32-bit version. It's not a full solution, but maybe you can try the 32-bit version of Cygwin.
