Then copied them into the clipboard and pasted them into an NT shell running bash. I've appended the important part of the output. At the end of this, bash is dead (still shows up in ms-task manager, but doesn't respond to anything (including ^C). I was able to reproduce this in rxvt as well but it took much longer, and ^C sort-of worked. After the ^C, I got back to a prompt, but then I tried to run "ps" and rxvt immediately exited. I have been unable to reproduce using strace. /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh cat: hhhh: No such file or directory /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh cat: hhhh: No such file or directory /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh cat: hhhh: No such file or directory /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh cat: hhhh: No such file or directory /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh cat: hhhh: No such file or directory /home/rcampbell> cat hhhh /home/rcampbell> cat cat: hhhh: No such file or directory hhhh hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh cat hhhh -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
