Issue when running non-cygwin programs with rsh


Hello,

I've noticed that stdout doesn't seem to be properly
redirected when a non-cygwin program is executed via rsh.

You can easily observe the problem. For that, compile your
favorite hello world program with and without the no-cygwin
flag:

   home $ gcc -o hello_cygwin hello.c
   home $ gcc -o hello_nocygwin -mno-cygwin hello.c

Then run the two binaries with rsh:

   home $ rsh localhost hello_cygwin
   Hello world
   home $ rsh localhost hello_nocygwin
   home $

As you can see, the stdoud of the non-cygwin program is not
redirected to the remote terminal. This can be worked around
by piping stdout to the cat command:

   home $ rsh localhost "hello_nocygwin | cat"
   Hello world
   home $
