The bash operator << is broken in GNU-WIN32 17.1 under Windows NT 4.0.
For example, try this:

cat >test << XYZ
> 1
> 2
> XYZ

You get an error like

bash.exe: 410230543 File or directory not found

And no file 'test' is written.  Because of this problem, it is not
possible to run the 'configure' script for 'less.'  It is miserable
to have a development environment without less.

Fortunately, the binary image of less for Windows 95 and NT can
be downloaded from the less home page

http://www.fog.net/glorianu/less/

And it works OK on NT with bash (but you must have your command window
buffer setup with the same size buffer as display or you will have
trouble...this is a known problem with less for Windows).
