I have seen this behavior for some applications, The behavior depends of the application. When tty support is enabled, stdin/stdout/stderr are redirected to a pipes, connected to "controlling tty". If the application does ReadFile() or WriteFile() on this handles, it works fine. For example, NT's cmd.exe started from bash works without problems. But if the application uses console api calls with this handles, it fails. -- Sergey Okhapkin, http://www.lexa.ru/sos Moscow, Russia - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
