Do you have a simple test case which demonstrates this? I wrote the below and piped it into cat and it works as expected. "foo" is printed, there is a five second pause, and "bar is printed. cgf #include <stdio.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IOLBF, 0); printf ("foo\n"); sleep (5); printf ("bar"); } -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
