The root cause is that when config.status is processed by bash, then sometimes `` construct forgets all output, causing different generated file names to be empty, thus connecting sed to stdin instead of some file.

while true; do test "`echo foo`" = "foo" || echo failed; done
When this command is run inside bash, then "failed" lines appear quite regularly. The bug is reproducible only with /bin/bash, /bin/sh works reliably.
I meant to test the above before I made some more changes to cygwin to attempt to avoid data loss but I didn't get around to it. So, there is a snapshot up there which may or may not solve the problem. The above command doesn't die for me now, so I guess that's something. I'll check the prevous snapshot tomorrow to see if it actually fails for me. I've been a little sick for a couple of weeks now and attempting to stay with my "work on real job in the day and cygwin at night" scenario is not working too well. In the meantime, please try the current snapshot. It is probably slightly (but possibly unoticeably) slower but it should be very much less likely to lose data in a pipe. The latest snapshot also has some new inline assembly functions courtesy of some cygwin-developers (Gary R. Van Sickle and Thomas Pfaff) which might cause a little bit of a boost, too.Nevermind. I just tried the current snapshot on my NT4 machien and it puked all over the place. I'll fix it tomorrow. Please avoid this snapshot until then.This should be fixed now. Please try the latest snapshot. Corinna also tracked down some thinkos in my handling of text mode reads which are fixed in this snapshot.
