Confirmed. It appears that start_thread_pipe() is called for both pipes and fifos, but only for pipes is there a device_specific_pipe in the select_pipe_info struct passed in; for fifos this pointer is null. This is down to the different initialisation sequences in fhandler_pipe::except_* vs. fhandler_fifo::except_*. I'm not sure if this is an omission in the except_* functions or an oversight in the start_thread_pipe function; cgf will know what to do. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
