Re: [PATCH] fmt-merge-msg: avoid open "-|" list form for Perl 5.6

So to summarize:

If anyone has a problem with Cygwin where signals do not seem to be working, I'd appreciate a bug report to the Cygwin list. We really do expect that things should work and want to fix things if they don't.

If that isn't possible to use the Cygwin list for some reason, I will continue to read this mailing list and respond to Cygwin problems but I would appreciate it if any Cygwin problem report contained details for reproducing the problem. We usually point people to this page http://cygwin.com/problems.html when they have problems. The basic take away from that page is to provide the cygcheck output which shows what settings have been used for your Cygwin installation. The interesting stuff in that output is the cygwin mount points, the CYGWIN environment variable, and version information about the Cygwin DLL.

The Cygwin web site is http://cygwin.com/ and it has a lot of information about Cygwin. Some of it is undoubtedly out-of-date or unclear but we do try to improve things if they are brought to our attention.

I don't see any reason to respond to this thread any further but I will continue to rectify any misstatements that I see being made about Windows or Cygwin here.
