Yes, the test version bash 2.05b-17 seams to solve the problem. Thanks! BTW the one liner to demonstrate the problem was not correct (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00946.html).
The correct one is: printf 1 > 1; while true; do cat 1; echo 2; done | cat The difference is the "| cat" without which the correct 12 sequence is generated. You need to have a pipe to get the bad output. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Faylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 5:10 PM Subject: Re: Sequential writes to stdout is messed up (Bash only?) > On Tue, Nov 23, 2004 at 04:52:57PM +0100, Fekete Krisztian wrote: > >The problem can be demonstrated by executing the following in bash: > > You probably want to try the recently announced test version of bash: > > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-11/msg00024.html > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
