A very specific script structure is needed to reproduce the error (a bash script must call a perl script, which in turn must use back-ticks to run an executable that has a call to DuplicateHandle(Out)) (that is the same script structure that mk uses--and that causes DuplicateHandle(Out) to fail).

And doesn't fail with cygwin-1.5.16 when using gcc, probably a bug in
cl?

$ gcc -o showprob showprob.c

$ ./showprb.sh

process_easy: DuplicateHandle(Out) SUCCESS

process_easy: DuplicateHandle(Out) SUCCESS

$ gcc -mno-cygwin -o showprob showprob.c

$ ./showprb.sh

process_easy: DuplicateHandle(Out) SUCCESS

process_easy: DuplicateHandle(Out) SUCCESS
