Sometimes when I use Cygwin.bat to start bash and I have another instance of bash running, I get this error appear at the top of the console:
3996 [main] bash 2436 fhandler_base::dup: dup(/dev/tty) failed, handle B, Win32 error 87 readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings?]0;~ ?[32mchris@ADVENT02 ?[33m~?[0m Win32 error 87 = ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER The control characters in the bash prompt are visible on the terminal - the colour does not change. I've searched the mailing list archives, but it doesn't seem to have been reported before. I've been trying to find a way to replicate it, but at the moment it seems to be random.
