I'm getting a test hang in D03: This is process substitution again. This is problematic under Cygwin: sometimes one of the two forms works, sometimes another, even though both are notionally present and zsh is simply using documented behaviour that works on other systems. (The real problem, of course, is that process handling is intrinsically horrific in Cygwin.) I don't think we can do much more than skip the test and put a warning about related features in the manual. We might be able to add an option to pick the support we use (named pipes or device files) but that's probably only of use to the sort of people who could in any case hack the configuration by hand. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070
