Re: AW: 1.5.25-7 piping directed output to /dev/stdout will not work


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

According to Leutwein Tobias (BEG-PG/EES) on 2/15/2008 8:27 AM:
| I did this examples under the bash.
| Attached is a cygcheck output of a cygwin 1.5.24 installation. With this
version it works.

Please avoid http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU.

Earlier versions of bash did not install a /dev/stdout symlink, but
special cased it directly in bash.  It may be that this has always been
broken on cygwin, but because bash was special-casing things instead of
relying on a symlink, no one noticed.  But now that bash installs a
/dev/stdout symlink, it would be nice if cygwin could be patched to match
Linux behavior on reopening /dev/stdout.
