Hi all,

After updating cygwin to the newest version after 3 Month I get a strange e=
rror if I start the Xwindow with bash as usual

/bin/find: `standard output': Bad file descriptor
/bin/find: Schreibfehler.

I can trace that to the attempt of /etc/profile to read /etc/profile.d

# Run all of the profile.d scripts
# Note that these are supplied by separate packages
# Ascending alphanumerical order enforced

#next line for debugging
echo before trying to read /etc/profile

if [ -d "/etc/profile.d" ]; then
        while read f; do
                if [ -f "${f}" ]; then
                        . "${f}"
                fi
        done <<- EOF
        `/bin/find -L /etc/profile.d -type f -iname '*.sh' -or -iname '*.zs=
h' | LC_ALL=3DC sort`
        EOF
fi
#next line for debugging
echo after trying to read /etc/profile

after adding the debugging lines I get

before trying to read /etc/profile
/bin/find: `standard output': Bad file descriptor
/bin/find: Schreibfehler.
after trying to read /etc/profile

but if I execute the /bin/find .... line from the xwindow everything works =
as expected.

So do someone has an idea what's going on here ??

Thanks
Norbert
