Chris- I'm writing as a user of another program whose behavior broke with the new cygwin update (unison over ssh). I just wanted to pass on info that I thought may be helpful to you when looking in to this for a more permanent fix.
This problem looks exactly (from the user standpoint) like one that has come and gone in the past. Specifically, it was in some of the releases prior to 1.3.12-1. You then fixed it in that release as per this change comment to the announcement list (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2002-07/msg00002.html) : > - Fix binmode/textmode problems with ssh and other programs which > use pipes. (Christopher Faylor) I don't know if the current breakage is related (sure looks that way to us naive users!), but if it is, maybe this info can help you track it down. Thanks for all of your hard work. -- dNb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
