PING!

Anyone have any ideas on this?  See lots of discussion on "Cygwin visual
brand" would be nice if there was some discussion of actual issues ;)

Thanks,
Dave

Subject: 1.7.5: Bug with bash read in /etc/profile.d invocation

OK, I have this simple script:

	#!/usr/bin/bash -x
	echo In p.sh
	read -p "How are you today? " Ans
	echo Ans is $Ans
=20
When I run from the bash prompt in Cygwin, I get:
	$ /etc/profile.d/p.sh
	+ echo In p.sh
	In p.sh
	+ read -p 'How are you today? ' Ans
	How are you today? OK
	+ echo Ans is OK
	Ans is OK
=20
However, when it gets invoked on startup, by being in /etc/profile.d, I
do not get prompted for input and it echoes the value of Ans is
/etc/profile.d/xinit.sh, here's the output I get:
=20
	In p.sh
	Ans is /etc/profile.d/xinit.sh
=20
So, it appears the stdin is being high jacked when login scripts are
running.  Cygcheck output attached.

Thanks,
Dave=20
