/* FIXME: Workaround Windows 7 issue. If the parent process of
the process tree closes the original handles to the console window,
strange problems occur when starting child processes later on if
stdio redirection is used. How to reproduce:
stdio redirection is used.
shell script foo:
exec 2>foo.log
FOO=$( uname -n | cat )
echo $FOO
start from cmd with `bash foo'. The result is that the cat process
will be started but dies before Cygwin strace output can be generated
and $FOO stays empty. The strace output shows that bash tries
multiple times to start cat, but none of the invocations of cat will
ever show up in the strace output.
Remove the `exec 2>' or remove the cat call and the script will work.
Start bash interactively, then start the script manually, and the
script will work.
CV 2009-08-08: It looks like this problem has been fixed only
half-heartedly in RTM. Unfortunately the new implementation
has still a problem which now also occurs on the 32 bit release
of Windows 7. It's still not quite clear what happens but it's
easily reproducible. Just start X via the start menu entry.
This opens an xterm window with a shell. Exit from the shell,
and you get a Windows error box reporting a crash in the
Console Window Host application (conhost.exe) due to an access
violation.
This needs further investigation but the workaround not to close
the handles will have a marginal hit of three extra handles per
