Well, nonetheless, none of your comments really help with the problem.

I know, that there were massive changes handling fork() and the pipes. So what shall I do, if a the problem now only manifests regularly if scp is called by Java calling a dos batch calling a shell script ? Using strace the problem is going to happen much more unlikely. So what do you mean is it good using a debugger?

I really tried hard to find a combination, that makes the problem more obvious without such a weird setup and I cried here for any help, that would enable me to find a better scenario or that enables anyone else to find the problem.

So, if you can't or won't help, I prefer no answer.

Hi Jörg :)

Downgrading to cygwin-1.3.11 should help.

or if you like living on the edge there's a new experimental "noparent" 
branch for cygwin1.dll

  Nor does your strace output.  It does nothing to solve the problem.  It just
sits there unread in several thousand peoples' inboxes.

  You could have gotten _exactly_ that by simply *not* sending 200Kb of strace
to the list.

  Unless anyone specifically asked you for it, you have no reason to assume that
anyone's going to want to plough through it.

  So basically what you've done is say to yourself "I'll just send tons and tons
of stuff (which I know will be of no use or interest to 99.9% of the recipients)
to absolutely everyone in the hopes that it might be relevant to even just one
or two people."

  That's the same approach that spammers take.  It's just plain wrong.

  However we're getting way OT, so if you want to discuss this further, I'm
going to have to ask you to step outside.  While flapping your arms and clucking
like a chicken.  TITTTL!

    cheers, 
      DaveK

Sigh.  Do not use this branch.  It is not intended for anyone but me.
