FWIW, this also seems to hang for me, but can't confirm that it hangs "forever", as I didn't wait that long. Ctrl/C-ing out works, but that takes several seconds to take effect. And then I can't delete out.txt: $ rm -f out.txt rm: cannot remove ‘out.txt’: Device or resource busy $ Commands 'ps' and 'who' don't indicate any other processes, but Task Manager shows another bash process. After killing that process I am then able to delete out.txt. --Ken Nellis
