I have found time to install a fresh Cygwin setup
on a Windows 2000 machine, where I did not have
the previously described problem (three years of
production service).

I wrote a wrapper script which executes the

open $proc, "process|";
while (<$proc>) {
        print $_;
}
close $proc;

loop on an external program.

I used three external programs, one Perl script, one bash
script (both Cygwin related), and one using our much used
Continuus application (Windows command line program).

I had the following three configurations :

System 1           System 2            System 3
W2K3 Server        W2K Server          W2K Server
Cygwin 1.5.18-1    Cygwin 1.5.18.-1    Cygwin 1.5.11-1

On all systems, executing a Cygwin related program
gives the right behavior, that is, as soon as the
file descriptor is ready, a line is read and printed.

Only on system 3, which uses an older version of Cygwin,
this behaviour is correct for the Windows command line
program.

It also has nothing to do with the installation of
Continuus, because the installations on System 2 and 3
have been running for years without problems.

So, first of all, I will try with an upgrade of the
cygwin1.dll.

If this does not help, what can I do more to help you
help me ?

Regards,

Jurgen

Well, you could always try that - <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>.  The 
other
possibility is to upgrade your W2K/XP machine to the 1.5.18 version of the
cygwin package and see if you see the same behavior.  The information 
you've
given so far doesn't eliminate the possibility of a W2K3 bug of some kind.
