Sorry for bringig up this thread again, but was this issue fixed in 1.7.5-1?

When I do:
$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe
$ ls -l > /tmp/pipe
cygwin hangs... and cannot be stopped by Ctrl-C.

Alternatively after 
$ ls -l > /tmp/pipe &
$ cat /tmp/pipe

nothing happens, so I  interrupt cat with Ctrl-C, and finally try:

$ cat < /tmp/pipe
cat: -: Communication error on send

Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Sanyi
