Pipeline problems under coolview 970907

Tue Sep 16 06:16:00 GMT 1997

Environment: WinNT 4.0(SP3), Cygwin32 b18, coolview.tar.gz dated 970907,
all filesystems mounted in binary mode.
.bashrc runs on bash startup, but /etc/profile and .bash_profile only run
if called from.bashrc. I use /etc/profile to convert MSDOS format
environment variables to UNIX format.
When I try to use a pipe on the command line, it appears to die when the
source command terminates.
This pipeline sometimes (not always unfortunately) writes nothing to the
screen.
 env | sort
When it doesn't, it normally will after running the following command
line.
 env > /dev/null # or any other file
This pipeline normally stops about halfway through the file list:
 cd /WinNT/system32
 ll *.dll | less
This pipeline normally stops after displaying no lines. It also gets a
complaint (ls: pagefile.sys: Permission denied) to STDERR.
 cd /
 ll | less
I think these are related to the pipeline problems that surfaced in the
970810 coolview. They were addressed by the 970907 coolview, but appear
to still be present.
Thanks,
Mac :})
