process substitution temp files in cygwin/4.3.9

[Anthony Heading]

Hello,

This is with zsh as packaged by cygwin.  

~=> zsh --version
zsh 4.3.9 (i686-pc-cygwin)
~=> x==(echo hello); ls -l $x
ls: cannot access /tmp/zshLYRlmE: No such file or directory

The alternative earlier package is 4.3.4, which is fine

~=> zsh --version
zsh 4.3.4 (i686-pc-cygwin)
~=> x==(echo hello); ls -l $x
-rw-r--r-- 1 ajrh None 6 Dec 11 06:08 /tmp/zsh7IfKiD

Rgds

Anthony

This is as designed, after a subcommand or whatever it is called is
finished, the temp file is deleted. There's really no actual
difference between a ; and pressing enter. It used to work sometimes
in previous versions due to a bug, but it sometimes also crashed.
