Again, probably going over old ground but I can't find anywhere that it has
actually been stated for those that can't duplicate the problem, that
TOPFOLDER="$(cygpath d:/)/Cygwin-XFree86"
hangs, but
cygpath d:/
doesn't hang?
As Brian has noted, Executing the binary with '< /dev/null' stops the
hanging, but also executing it without capturing the output to a variable
also stops the hanging.
Could the capturing of the output somehow give the child process an output
stream but no input one? Could something be failing because (going on
CreateProcess API) it was told to inherit file descriptors but there isn't a
valid input one?
I'm just trying to throw questions at anyone in the hope I might stumble
across something that makes one of the real geniuses realise what is going
on.
Please tell me to be quiet if I'm being annoying ;)
Steve.
