Like benczur, I apologize for bringing this thread up once more
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-05/msg00488.html), but I am still
having the issue with named pipes. ?I run from one shell:
$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe
$ ls -l > /tmp/pipe

and from another:
$ cat < /tmp/pipe

and get this:
cat: -: Communication error on send

I've tried with both the latest release and the latest snapshot with
the same results. ?Is this still an issue?

-Craig

I tried these 2 orders of ops:

$ mkfifo /tmp/p
$ ls -l > /tmp/p
Other$ cat /tmp/p   [hangs]

But

$ mkfifo /tmp/p
Other$ cat /tmp/p
$ ls -l > /tmp/p    [ls -l appears on other]

Bill

PS - cygwin version 1.7.5
