  Ah, so stdout was _already_ redirected!  That makes it much easier to
understand!


cheers,

Got it resolved.  I checked the properties for what was being invoked by 
the Cygwin icon since Christopher Faylor suggested that I invoke things 
clean by hand and when I went  and this system had extra characters 
after the "C:\Cygwin\cygwin.bat  x#1>ax#45" which my other system 
doesn't have.  I removed them and that resolved the problem.


Thanks to everyone for their help and quick response.  You're a great bunch.

Yes, I suspect that this will boil down to non-cygwin tools being
invoked somehow.  So, starting bash with an absolute path from a windows
command prompt and then verifying that invoking commands using absolute
paths would be instructive:

  c:\>c:\cygwin\bin\bash
  bash$ /bin/ls

  That's the wackiest bug I've heard of in a while!  Does the same happen in a
rxvt window and in a DOS box, or is it only one or the other?

  No, this is utterly unique and bizarre, and it's very hard to imagine how it
could even begin to happen.  Maybe someone's gone and created a real file
called /dev/console and it's messing with i/o because it's not a special
device node?

> I'm attaching the results of "cygcheck -s -v -r > chgcheck.out"

  Well, I'd get rid of the set of clashing unix-alike tools that you have
installed under C:\bin, for a start, or at any rate remove them from the $PATH
setting, and then give setup.exe a quick re-run to give it a chance to re-do
anything that might have gone wrong last time.  Otherwise this is going to be
definitely a tricky one to track down.

No, this is something new (and weird).  First, can you try a snapshot (see
 for download and installation instructions)
and report if it fixes the problem for you?  The Cygwin developers are
very close[1] to releasing 1.5.19, so any testing of snapshots is helpful.

A WAG: does "/bin/ls -l" have the same problem?

If the snapshot doesn't fix your problem, some more information would be
needed for us to try reproducing this: are you running the command from a
bash shell, from rxvt, from a CMD prompt, or somewhere else?  Does it fail
for all commands (e.g., time)?  When you run a command that outputs to
both stdout and stderr, do you only see stderr output?  Do you see the
output of Windows commands (e.g., "net")?  If you have access to a machine
with the same DLL version that doesn't exhibit this problem, could you
please run the command under "strace" on both machines (i.e., run
"/bin/strace -o ls.strace /bin/ls -l") and compare the output?

FWIW, your cygcheck output looks ok.
HTH,
Igor
