Many native Windows applications that call ssh do not work now. Some of the affected applications are 'unison', and 'cvs'. You just pointed out that native Perl also fails to work with cygwin ssh, probably because of the same incompatibility. Note that the cygwin builds of the applications still work (cygwin unison or cygwin Perl for instance). Take a look at the following thread: Re: More pipe problems (was Re: [Fwd: 1.5.11-1: sftp performance problem]) Best, Adrian Stephen Studley wrote: > At 12:33 PM -0500 11/22/04, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > >> That's probably the best you could hope for at this point.
