Hi,
I posted a question a few days before, about sh.exe poping up
console-windows. I found out, that the use of
freopen causes the problem. So here is my modified question:

How does freopen-ing stdout and stderr affect subsequent "system" calls?

There must have been a change between Cygwin 1.5.10 and 1.5.19,
because the console windows didn't show up in Cygwin 1.5.10.
The freopen manpage states, that the original stream is closed when it
is assigned to the new file. So does freopen try to close the original
console output and what is the effect?

I'm sorry that I can't ask clearer or more specific but I'm really
puzzled by this. It is possible to rewite the code that contains
freopen with dup, dup2 calls but I'd like to understand what happened.

Regards
    Jens
