rxvt hanging after latest cygwin update

rxvt hanging after latest cygwin update

[Thomas V. Fischer]

Hey all,

I just upgraded my cygwin installation to the new release made available at
the beginning of the month.

Since this upgrade, my rxvt launch script doesn't work anymore.

I have the following dos-batch script:

    start /i /min /separate /b $PATH2CYG\bash --login -c "/startrxvt.sh 12
&"

 The startrxvt.sh script looks like this:

    #!/bin/bash

    #Redirect IO to allow parent terminal to closr
    exec 0< /dev/null
    exec 1> ~/.xdmcp-errors
    exec 2>&1

    # Select font size
    FONTSIZE=12
    if [ -n "$1"]; then FONTSIZE=$1; fi

    rxvt -bg black -fg green -fn "-*-Lucida
Console-*-*-*-*-$FONTSIZE-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -sr -sl 1024 -e
"/bin/bash --login -i -x" &
    #

The rxvt window opens but hangs. I don't see the scroll bar and there are no
prompts. The window doesn't refresh, resize... nothing happens. I have to
kill it in order to get rid of it.
This script has worked for a long time and works on another machine which I
haven't upgraded yet.

My system is running WindowsXP-SP1

If i run the commands manually, everything works ok.

Thnks for your help

Question: Why are you doing this? What do you mean by "allow parent 
terminal to closr[sic]"?

$ cat foo.sh
#!/bin/bash
exec 0</dev/null
exec 1>~/.foobar
exec 2>&1
ls qwert foo.sh
$ bash --login -c "./foo.sh"
$ cat .foobar
ls: qwert: No such file or directory
foo.sh
$

Well...

Hello all,

I figured out what was wrong.

It seems to be the statement 'exec 2>&1' that is no longer working.
