Hi, The problem can be demonstrated by executing the following in bash:
printf 1 > 1; while true; do cat 1; echo 2; done Expected result would be an endless stream of 12-s: 12 12 ... The real result is something different - see below. Executing ksh -c 'printf 1 > 1; while true; do cat 1; echo 2; done' gives the expected stream (pdksh). BR, Krisztian Fekete PS.: My cygwin is up to date, running on Windows 2000. cygwin/bash result: 12 12 12 12 12 12 2 112 12 12 2 2 12 112 12 2 1112 2 2 1112 12 2 2 12 12 1112 ... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
