Oftentimes I get a Windows popup claiming that cat has performed an illegal operation, at which point the system is low on memory and can't spawn any more processes, so I am forced to reboot. This idiom is part of the coreutils configure script. $ cat /proc/uptime 284.85 0.00 $ cat < /proc/uptime # no response after 10 minutes, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D do nothing ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
