Bash issues many FSCTL_PIPE_PEEK operations?

[Gary Fritz]

I just installed SysInternals' FileMon utility and have discovered all kinds of 
unknown activity going on behind the scenes.  

One that surprised me was Bash.  FileMon says that Bash is doing 90-100 
FSCTL_PIPE_SEEK operations EVERY SECOND!  It does this even if Bash 
is currently running a command, so there is no open prompt looking for input.  

Is it *supposed* to do that??   

I'm running Bash 3.2.17(15)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) on XP Pro SP2.
