I've added a change to cygwin which causes exit values to be right shifted by eight bits when a process knows that it has been started from a windows process.
This means that if a process exits with a status code of "1", windows will see an exit code of "1" rather than "256". FWIW, I'm making this change despite the rude personal email I received about the current exit code behavior although it was, as always, tempting to leave this as-is in face of the querulous complaints, demands, and threats. cgf -- 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/
