is there any chance that we get a fix in the next couple of weeks? I'm really annoyed about all these reports of hanging processes over ssh due to the pipe changes. The only application which seems to work better to date is apparently the Cygwin version of rsync. If we don't get a patch, I'm inclined to revert the pipe patch before we release 1.5.13. IMHO it's not worth to have one application working in favorite of tons of other applications. Btw., didn't you announce more pipe patches yet to come? Is it possible that you already have a patch which will get that working again? I'm still hoping for something more satisfying than reverting...
