The optimal fix would be to implement this in WAPI's GetStdHandle, but WAPI doesn't have access to the PE header. Hence I decided to close STDIN and handle this locally in Console.cs. + +------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-08-17 11:34 ------- +Closing stdin is not a good idea because libraries assume that the +file descriptor will be valid and will be stdin. + +The problem is that you close that, someone else opens a file which +happens to get the descriptor for stdin, and then some library tries +to read and happens to advance the pointer of a file that you do not own. + +If we close stdin, we probably should open /dev/null and do a dup2 to +the stdin descriptor. + + _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
