Generally it gets to around > 7â9, but I've seen it managing to only get up to 3 on one occasion. I can't reproduce this. First I tried this manually a couple of times, but then I created a loop: for i in {1..1000} do echo > /dev/clipboard for n in {1..10}; do echo $n; done > /dev/clipboard grep -q 10 /dev/clipboard || cat /dev/clipboard done and it didn't fail once. I'm not sure what to do if I don't have a reproducible testcase... Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
