The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000043). Click on OK to terminate the application. The application referred to is the application reading the pipe. In the shell window, the following message is displayed... fork_helper: child died before initialization with win32 error 128 The command sometimes completes successfully, anyway. Can anyone suggest what is causing this? Regards David Scott - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
