I've checked in a variation of the above plus some modifications to pipe.cc which prevent some handle stomping and may make things work better.
I see that your patch makes writepipe_exists non-inheritable. This means that if you pass a pipe to a windows process, which in turn passes it to another process, the writepipe_exists will be gone, and cygwin will think the pipe is closed, AFAICT. So something like: bash$ ls | cmd /c more will not work any more. I think... I can't check this, because I don't have access to old versions of windows where writepipe_exists is actually used. Lev
