However, given how this stuff works internally, I have no good solution off the top of my head. I played with various ideas but to no avail. I add this to my TODO list, but I probably won't have a quick solution :( Thanks, Corinna P.S: It would be really helpful if you could stick to the original thread and simply use "reply-to" once a discussion has started.It's very confusing having to connect the various threads. Thanks.
Perhaps David B. can be helped by a Cygwin-specific patching to "cmp"? Eric?
... replacing the call to fstat() by a call to stat() ... (as shown in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-12/msg00348.html) By the way, thank you for reporting back to "us" about this. I already feared that a "general" solution would have to wait ... You have already too much on your plate. As a final point, I also tested FIFOs and (unix domain) sockets. FIFOs pass the test, sockets do not.
