kernel 2041. memory manager - I've tested all situation, includes XMGR, JEMMEX, EMM386 and none of them - the problem is all the same.

Native Hardware. A 1st-generation i7 CPU with 8G DDR3 - other hardware detail can be find by google Quanta TW9 barebone.

Yes, %DJGPP% set. %TMPDIR% not overriden( I'm running DJGPP programs in my FAT32 partition ). In fact I just use the official djgpp.env, no any modification.
For tests...let me make some. all following is exactly what happen in my laptop, except the comments that leads with //:
$echo x > testfile
$grep x testfile
x //so grep's function is well, as well as stdout redirection
$cat testfile |grep x
$ //NOTHING output
$less x
x
testfile (END) // so less also works
//press q exit - so less works well
$cat x | less
(END)//NOTHING here but we can still press q to exit.

Let me describe my test environment. I've test it 3 times from ground up.
1) download everything I needs in /beta(include bsh205bbr3.zip), and unzip them in /DJGPP, set enviroment variants, etc.
2) test the above commands, found the pipe not work.
3) download the /current/ bsh204br3.zip and unzip it in the /DJGPP folder, run bash and then the above tests, found all pipe functions well.
4) renames /DJGPP/bin/bash.exe to /DJGPP/bin/bash204.exe, and unzips bsh205bbr3.zip to /DJGPP again, run bash.exe and the test, find test result was same as step 2.
5) run bash204.exe and then the tests, find the result was same as step 3.
After several try I find a (strange) solution. Don't use the cat.exe from txt20b.zip, instead write a bat(cat->copy %1 con). Then grep through pipe works. So it seems not totally pipe's problem - its the old textutils don't compatible? By the way, I tried the 3 tests you mentioned, in bash204br3 it all gives a "1" output, and in bash205br3 nothing.
Thanks, palxex
