Duh. This should work in 95% of the cases. In the other cases file size of TMPFILE is involved, so redirection would not work as-is. Have to check whether that rest is really 5%, and whether conditionally calling cygpath is ok there. | Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well! Thanks for pointing out ;-) I must admit that after one week of trying several SHELL environments on Windows and running into problems on each my visual field is very narrow by now.
