Hi,

	I'm writing a program which need to send data to a cygwin program using
a pipe on the stdin (actually data to compress using gzip).

All is working well but at the end of the program when i close the pipe
it seems that gzip doesn't see that the pipe has been closed and so it
stay open.

I kind of think there must be something with windows<->cygwin EOF but i
can't find out what.

Is anyone has an idea ?

thanks

Bertrand
