I can't reproduce this either. I ran the above command in a tight loop
a couple of thousand times, checking if the content of $stdout was
truncated, but it runs without trouble:
bash$ let i=0; while true; do let i++; stdout=""; stdout="$(icacls "$(cygpath -w "$PWD")")"; num=$(echo "$stdout" | wc -c); echo $i $num; if [ $num -lt 733 ]; then break; fi; done; echo "$i: $stdout"
(the output has an expected length of 733 bytes)
