Reply to Steven Penny <svnpenn at gmail dot com>:
no mis-behaving: this is intended behavior - you yourself have given
workarounds: either redirect output to a file that can be later
read, or pipe to
command grouping ala {} or () and read stdin from inside the subshell
I suggest the following adjustment to the man pages inserting a
parenthetical cue regards behavior in pipes:
Is the behavior you are complaining about unique to Cygwin, or can it be
reproduced on a GNU/Linux box? If the latter, then an upstream bug
report is better than asking for a cygwin-specific patch. [Hint - as
the maintainer of the cygwin bash port, I don't recall adding any
cygwin-specific tweaks for mapfile - and a quick test on Fedora shows
the same behaviors]
