Hi all,

It appears that 'tee' can't handle process substitution as its target 
file. It works fine on my Solaris machine at work, and the coreutils 
info pages explicitly say it should work:

solaris$ echo hi | tee >(cat)
hi
hi

cygwin$ echo hi | tee >(cat)
hi
tee: /dev/fd/63: Bad file descriptor

Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds? Unfortunately google tends to 
ignore three-letter words, so I couldn't determine if this has been 
reported/solved before...

Thanks,
Ryan
