hello,
came across this today on a fresh (2 days old) installation of cygwin x86
$ cat test.txt | head
3 [main] head (3348) C:\tools\cygwin\bin\head.exe: *** fatal error -
MapViewOfFileEx '(null)'(0x5DC), Win32 error 6. Terminating.
Segmentation fault
reading from pipes works fine if working directory is a local drive or a UNC
path,
but this happens if the working directory is removable drive. I tried with/on
various
devices and it happens on all removable drives, regardless of the filesystem
(NTFS or FAT32)
also, 'head' is just an example; the same error comes up when trying to use
grep,
sed or gawk (haven't tested with others yet).
does anybody know what could be causing this?
thank you,
Michael
