to be complete on this, there are actually two bugs:
- the first I described in #4
- the second one which corresponds to use case in #5.
This one is another wrong assumption in cmd.exe. Cmd only uses the msvcrt
inheritance mechanism for file redirection, which is correct for any program
linked to msvcrt (and doing its I/O with msvcrt), but is wrong in the other
cases (like using /bin/grep).
Currently CreateProcess correctly manages inheritance though handles for a Unix
exec (as a child), but it doesn't for msvcrt inheritance mechanism. However, as
from CreateProcess point of the reserved fields in STARTUPINFO have to be
considered as a black box (it's actually used by some programs to pass
information from parent to child), I'd rather think cmd should take care of
this very problem.

A+
