Hi Cygwin friends and users,


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>base64 oso|base64 -d - base64: write error: Bad file descriptor base64: write error

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2 1.7.10s(0.259/5/3) 20120202 16:59:00 i686 Cygwin

please check this problem.

Worksforme after creating a file called "oso".

(And if I don't have
such a file, the command fails in the expected way.)

sorry for confusion

rem make empty file
C:\>touch boa

C:\>base64 boa|base64 -d -
rem make non empty file
C:\>echo blahblah >oso

C:\>base64 boa|base64 -d -

C:\>base64 boa|base64 -d -

C:\>base64 oso|base64 -d -
blahblah

C:\>base64 oso|base64 -d -
base64: write error: Bad file descriptor
base64: write error

C:\>base64 oso|base64 -d -
base64: write error: Bad file descriptor
base64: write error

C:\>base64 oso|base64 -d -
base64: write error: Bad file descriptor
base64: write error

C:\>base64 oso|base64 -d -
base64: write error: Bad file descriptor
base64: write error

empty file always worked.
for non-empty file it does worked or not.
strace for base64 -d solved the write error. so i couldn't figure it out quite well.
