Your example works fine for me on Cygwin (on a WinME) as long as I give
the absolute path, e.g. /bin/tee (the FAQ says "/your/filter/command"
and the specs "/some/directory/transport-filter.pl ")
I have looked up the code, it's using execv(). I believe that's the proper
behavior. execvp() would lookup PATH.
Philip, wish of the day:
in this case child_close() on line 993 of transport.c
returned EX_UNAVAILABLE, indicating problems in launching the filter.
Reporting that error, instead of broken pipe, would be helpful.
