Pipeline problems under coolview 970907

Pipeline problems under coolview 970907

[Michael A. Chase]

Environment: WinNT 4.0(SP3), Cygwin32 b18, coolview.tar.gz dated 970907,
all filesystems mounted in binary mode.

.bashrc runs on bash startup, but /etc/profile and .bash_profile only run
if called from.bashrc.  I use /etc/profile to convert MSDOS format
environment variables to UNIX format.

When I try to use a pipe on the command line, it appears to die when the
source command terminates.

This pipeline sometimes (not always unfortunately) writes nothing to the
screen.

   env | sort

When it doesn't, it normally will after running the following command
line.

   env > /dev/null                          # or any other file

This pipeline normally stops about halfway through the file list:

   cd /WinNT/system32
   ll *.dll | less

This pipeline normally stops after displaying no lines.  It also gets a
complaint (ls: pagefile.sys: Permission denied) to STDERR.

   cd /
   ll | less

I think these are related to the pipeline problems that surfaced in the
970810 coolview.  They were addressed by the 970907 coolview, but appear
to still be present.

Thanks,

Will it be in your next coolview binaries or do I need to apply it
separately?

Thanks,

Bash executes /etc/profile only when started as login shell.

I've fixed it some days ago, the patch is available.
