I.e. terminal type and any other relevant information would help resolving your issue. (Though, I fail to replicate it with both mintty and native terminal.)Hmm, I've observed this for a while already on all my cygwin installations (64bit/32bit on 64/32bit Windows, ...) and in different terminals (mintty, console, ...), so I'd thought it would be reproducible. Pondering...bash prints that message when it has the noclobber-option set. Maybe you check it?
Yes, indeed, the effect shows up after set -o noclobber;however, this shouldn’t apply to device files (and doesn’t on other systems) -
