I can't reproduce this either. I ran the above command in a tight loop a couple of thousand times, checking if the content of $stdout was truncated, but it runs without trouble: bash$ let i=0; while true; do let i++; stdout=""; stdout="$(icacls "$(cygpath -w "$PWD")")"; num=$(echo "$stdout" | wc -c); echo $i $num; if [ $num -lt 733 ]; then break; fi; done; echo "$i: $stdout" (the output has an expected length of 733 bytes) Corinna -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
