Sorry for bringig up this thread again, but was this issue fixed in 1.7.5-1? When I do: $ mkfifo /tmp/pipe $ ls -l > /tmp/pipe cygwin hangs... and cannot be stopped by Ctrl-C. Alternatively after $ ls -l > /tmp/pipe & $ cat /tmp/pipe nothing happens, so I interrupt cat with Ctrl-C, and finally try: $ cat < /tmp/pipe cat: -: Communication error on send Or am I doing something wrong?
