ssh breaks while loop

[Kenneth Nellis]

FWIW, I see the same behavior, but not just Cygwin, but also on 
a Red Hat Linux installation, so I guess it's more of a bash/ssh 
issue than one with Cygwin. A workaround that works for me is the 
following:

for host in $(<hostlist)
do
    ssh $host ls -al .profile
done

If file hostlist contains:
hosta
hostb
hostc
 
then execute this shell script:
while read host
do
    ssh $host ls -al .profile
done < hostlist
 
the while loop executes one time and quits.
 
But,
while read host
do
    echo $host
done < hostlist
 
executes 3 times.
 
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
