Re: strange win2k behavior

I have noticed a strange behavior in windows 2000. In a command shell run Cmd | echo hi
it's a normal redirection of the stdout to cmd to echo, which doesn't take any inputs, but exits shortly after it has been started. then the pipe is broken, and with every output of cmd.exe this message is printed to the screen. cmd behaves exactly as usual, so hitting ctrl+c just displays the prompt again. you can escape it via "exit", as usual. so there's nothing magic behind it. in fact you launched a subshell, just with redirected output. if you escape it (via "exit", since stdin isn't affected), everything is normal again.
