Subject:	bash bug

I've written a TCL script which does the following things :

	1 --> gets a Shell command from stdin
	2 --> open a Bash shell within a pipe
	3 --> puts the command on the pipeline
	4 --> gets the result

PROBLEM :
I can't get any results after the 4th step with Cygnus Solution : :-(
I get the right result with MKS KSH or UWIN KSH :  :-)
Can you give me any reason, please ???

======================================================================= 
	
My TCL script can easily be translated into the following C program :
	
#include <stdio.h>
 
FILE           *recep, *df;
main()
{
        char            buf[BUFSIZ];
        char            string[256], rec[256];
 
        printf("Enter your command :") ;
        scanf("%s", &string) ;
        strcat(string,"\n") ;
        df = popen("sh", "wb");
        fputs(string, df) ;
        while (fgets(buf, BUFSIZ, df) != NULL)
              (void) printf("%s", buf);
        pclose(df) ;
}


This C program works fine under Cygnus, MKS and UWIN solutions.
