oh yes, correct. my bad.

fixed drive:
$ strace -o pipe.strace cat test.txt | head
test

removable drive:
$ strace -o pipe.strace cat test.txt |head
       3 [main] head (4836) C:\gnu\cygwin\bin\head.exe: *** fatal error - MapViewOfFileEx '(null)'(0x618), Win32 error 6.  Terminating.
cat: write error: No space left on device
Segmentation fault

"No space left on device" is new, and, of course, wrong as there is actually plenty of free space left on this device
