The reason for this seems to be the following...
On windows, for the $(shell ...) function, stdout for the child process that
executes the shell command line is piped to a stream that is read from the
parent process. After the parent process reads the stream into a buffer, it
doesn't print it to stdout... it just puts the results into the variable buffer.
I think that this is a problem. It can be changed easily by just echoing the
buffered characters to stdout as they are coming in...
if (cc <= 0)
break;
can be changed to...
if (cc <= 0)
break;
else
fwrite(&buffer[i], 1, cc, stdout);
in the function "func_shell"
