Does *not* work for me in an 'xterm' launched from the X toolbar icon.
I see the same error.

I don't see this with other commands, though.  'ls -l | head -10'
works just fine.


Okay, now this is really weird.... I have a hotkey set up in
AutoHotKey (Alt-Shift-T) to launch a new xterm.  It calls HSTART
(http://www.ntwind.com/software/hstart.html) with /NOCONSOLE /SHELL
which then runs a '.bat' file that runs:

c:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe -i -c "exec /usr/bin/xterm -ls -u8 -display
:0.0 >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

Any 'xterms' I open with this *work just fine*.  Any I open from the
X11 taskbar *do not*.  From my system.XWinrc:

menu apps {
    xterm   exec    "xterm -ls -u8"
    ...
}

Usually, I use my hotkey to open windows, so I haven't noticed if/when
I get this IO error for similar commands.

I opened multiple xterms via both methods and confirmed that my hotkey
version always works and the menubar version never does.
