Re: cygwin 1.7.0-28: Broken pipe signal broken?

I think this is fixed now. I spent a lot of time trying to get this
to work exactly like linux but Windows thwarted me. It should now, at
least, behave like 1.5.*.


With cygwin 1.7.0-29 and 20080822, SIGPIPE and write now behave like 1.5.*.


But ...

Not quite.  Now, with cygwin 1.7.0-29, parallel make is breaking, when
trying to use a fifo on fd3 for communication between the parallel
processes.  This is making it hard to package anything, since cygport
defaults to 'make -j2':

$ cygcheck -c cygwin
...

... I could also reproduce this problem.
