Hi all, On a Windows XP 32 bit machine with latest Cygwin installed (CYGWIN_NT-5.1 <machine> 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:40 i686 Cygwin) I frequently encounter errors which break bash while loops, making it practically unusable
e.g. cat some-file | while read i;do grep text $i;done results in 2 [main] bash 1972 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessW failed for '<cygwin install path>\bin\bash.exe', errno 9 bash: fork: Bad file descriptor The error is unpredictable, in a next run everything can run fine again. I already checked for some common errors, but could not find anything. Any help is appreciated.
