Previsouly, the following commands hangs:
mintty -e timeout 1 dash -c 'yes aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | cat'
The mechanism is as follows.
When the child process (timeout) is terminated, mintty seems to stop
reading pty master even if yes or cat still alive.
If the the pipe used to transfer output from pty slave to pty master
is full due to lack of master reader, WriteFile() to the pipe is
blocked. WriteFile() cannot be canceled by cygwin signal, therefore,
pty slave hangs.
This patch avoids hanging by checking pipe space before calling
WriteFile() and prevents writing data more than space.
