I've just noticed what sounds like the same issue: On Windows 7, in a 'cmd' window (at a 'cmd' prompt) doing the following fails more often than not:
perl -e 'print "abc";' | \cygwin\bin\more That is: "abc" does not always display on the screen after the command is executed. I note that the problem does not seem to happen in a mintty window or in bash started from a 'cmd' window. I'm running cygwin perl 5.14 with an up-to-date cygwin.
