Well, this *is* the list for reporting problems with Cygwin. Sorry, that I missed among all the other 450 mail per month, the one Chris stated, that he don't want straces sent to list without further asking.
Look, if I'd only sent a mail to the list stating that scp is sometimes failing without further information, you'd only reply with a link anyway. So I did my best to find at least a case to repeat the problem in a simpler environment and sent all information I can provide. Just stop your uber-teacher mode for a moment. What actions would *you* take to isolate the problem in a better way? What other useful information shall I provide to enable Chris or Pierre or someone else to have a critical look at the recent changes in the relevant fork()/pipe code?

It's you, who always snip the informational part.

No. Have better ways to waste my time. We don't seem to have common ground for standard communication anyway. My questions are still technical and on-topic.
