The attached STC arose from my attempt to understand the problem discussed starting in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00405.html .
I'm starting a new thread because there appears to be a Cygwin problem having nothing to do with emacs.
The STC creates a pipe and then runs `bash -ic ls' in a subprocess, with both stdout and stderr sent to the pipe. The parent process reads from the pipe and echoes it to the terminal.
On Linux, I first get the error messages (presumably expected)
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Invalid argument bash: no job control in this shell
followed by the directory listing. On Cygwin, the bash process produces no output but is simply stopped, and I have to kill it from another terminal before the main program will exit. This happens both with cygwin-1.7.9 and the latest snapshot. Here are a few comments:
1. The problem disappears if I don't send bash's stderr to the pipe.
2. The problem also disappears if I replace -ic by -c in the call to bash, presumably because there's nothing sent to stderr in that case.
3. The problem disappears if I don't use a pipe but just have the bash subprocess write to the terminal, even if I redirect bash's stderr to stdout.
