Well, this *is* the list for reporting problems with Cygwin. Sorry, that I 
missed among all the other 450 mail per month, the one Chris stated, that he 
don't want straces sent to list without further asking.

Look, if I'd only sent a mail to the list stating that scp is sometimes failing 
without further information, you'd only reply with a link anyway. So I did my 
best to find at least a case to repeat the problem in a simpler environment and 
sent all information I can provide. Just stop your uber-teacher mode for a 
moment. What actions would *you* take to isolate the problem in a better way? 
What other useful information shall I provide to enable Chris or Pierre or 
someone else to have a critical look at the recent changes in the relevant 
fork()/pipe code?

It's you, who always snip the informational part.

No. Have better ways to waste my time. We don't seem to have common ground for 
standard communication anyway. My questions are still technical and on-topic.
