(still) Like benczur, I apologize for bringing this thread up once more (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-05/msg00488.html), but I am still having the issue with named pipes. I run from one shell: $ mkfifo /tmp/pipe $ ls -l > /tmp/pipe and from another: $ cat < /tmp/pipe and get this: cat: -: Communication error on send I've tried with both the latest release and the latest snapshot with the same results.
