As already said, it works as it > should on linux. I see what's happening, but I don't see why it's a bug, and I don't understand why the Linux behavior is different. On Cygwin, the call to 'select' in line 44 returns immediately with nsel == 1. This seems correct to me, since the man page for 'select' says, "A file descriptor is ready for reading if a read operation will not block; in particular, a file descriptor is also ready on end-of-file." In the present case a read operation will not block for two reasons: first, O_NONBLOCK has been set; second, we're at EOF because no process has opened /tmp/pipe.in for writing. Given that we're at EOF, the return value of 0 for the subsequent 'read' is also correct. On Linux, 'select' does not return immediately but instead waits for someone to write to the FIFO. Can someone explain why Linux is right and Cygwin is wrong here? I must be missing something obvious. Ken
