Piped Commands Loss Of Output

[Jason Tishler]

Has anyone noticed a transient loss of output with piped commands
similar to the following:

    $ fgrep export .bashrc | wc
         12      30     339
    $ fgrep export .bashrc | wc
    $

Here is another one:

    $ grep . .bash_history | fgrep ls
    ls
    ls
    ...
    ls //k
    ls //k/vim-5.0h/vim .bashrc
    ls //k/vim-5.0h/
    ls //k/vim-5.0h/bin/vim .bashrc
    ls
    ls
    $ grep . .bash_history | fgrep ls
    $ grep . .bash_history | fgrep ls
    ls
    ls
    $

>From the above examples, I conclude that sometimes I get all output,
no output, and some output.

I am using b18 with Sergey's coolview 25 Nov 97.  I seem to remember
that I began to observe this problem when I upgraded to one of Sergey's
coolview ?? Sept 97 versions.  Has anyone observed this too?  Anyone
know whats wrong?

Thanks,
Jason
