Here's a second example. I used emacs's "ediff" function to compare two buffers, and it reported (incorrectly) that there were no differences. So it seems that emacs called on the shell to run "diff" but didn't get the output.One other thing I've noticed, which I think is unrelated, is that there is a
glitch in directory listing in emacs under cygwin 1.7: If you try to list a
directory with control-x d, very often the directory listing makes it look
like the directory is empty when it isn't. Typing "g" (to ask emacs to
redisplay the directory) usually results in a correct listing.
[...]With no knowledge of cygwin's internals, I'd much sooner guess the changes to the pipe code...
Any chance to create a testcase which reproduces this behaviour without involving emacs? Emacs is hell of a testcase which I won't even touch with gloves...
