1.5.25-6: Win32 programs don't get correct >> redirection


Running Cygwin version 1.5.25-6 with version 3.2.25-17 of bash with Win XP Pro...


Start up bash.


Enter these commands in order:


sh-3.2$ echo ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST > foo.txt sh-3.2$ echo UVWXYZ >> foo.txt sh-3.2$ cat foo.txt ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWXYZ sh-3.2$ echo ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST > foo.txt sh-3.2$ cmd /c echo UVWXYZ >> foo.txt sh-3.2$ cat foo.txt UVWXYZ IJKLMNOPQRST sh-3.2$


The first time that we use the ">>" redirection operator, it works correctly.


The second time that we use the ">>" redirection operator, it overwrites the beginning of the file rather than appending to the end.
The only difference is that the Win32 command interpreter CMD.EXE is echoing the text rather than bash.
