I can reproduce this:

C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";'
abc
C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";' | more
abc

C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";' | more
abc

C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";' | more

C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";' | more

C:\cygwin\bin>perl -e 'print "abc";' | more

I also noticed that the failures took 1 or 2 seconds to run - a significant
delay.  The successful runs completed "instantly".

I've just noticed what sounds like the same issue:

On Windows 7, in a 'cmd' window (at a 'cmd' prompt) doing the following
fails more often than not:

perl -e 'print "abc";' | \cygwin\bin\more


That is: "abc" does not always display on the screen after the command is
executed.


I note that the problem does not seem to happen in a mintty window or in
bash started from a 'cmd' window.

I'm running cygwin perl 5.14 with an up-to-date cygwin.
