Given that date is not a Bash builtin, I don’t know why that’s even on the table. The Cygwin DLL *is* involved, but a problem in the key function (time(2)) would break an *awful* lot of software, so I can’t see it being the source of the change. More likely, the change is in newlib or the terminal I/O code. What do you get from “strace -fq date +%s”? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
