FWIW, I see the same behavior, but not just Cygwin, but also on
a Red Hat Linux installation, so I guess it's more of a bash/ssh
issue than one with Cygwin. A workaround that works for me is the
following:
for host in $(<hostlist)
do
ssh $host ls -al .profile
done

Subject: ssh breaks while loop
If file hostlist contains:
hosta
hostb
hostc
then execute this shell script:
while read host
do
ssh $host ls -al .profile
done < hostlist
the while loop executes one time and quits.
But,
while read host
do
echo $host
done < hostlist
executes 3 times.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
