A list of known bugs in the MinGW port: * cmd/src/rc	If at the beginning of a command line is a variable definition like in		foo=1 cat	and the command is interrupted using ^C, then commands started	later also see the value of foo. 	Commands like ssh.exe `eat' the console (characters typed in later	are not visible anymore) * lib9/mingw/fdtab-	If a file descriptor is dup'ed, only the descriptor entry is duplicated, but	not the file or resources. This seems to be ok for all stream-like files, but	might cause problems for normal files, if one tried to read or write in the	same file at different offsets via the original and a dup'ed fd. Most programs	in p9p, though, don't seem to do this. * cmd/src/sam://* cmd/du:* lib9/mingw/dirread:-	As there is no `inode' defined on Windows file systems,	the qid.path member of a `Dir' struct is always set to	zero at the moment. This can be a problem if some code	relies on qid.path being equal for the same but not for	different files. 	One result of qid.path being always the same can be observed	using `du.exe -a': sometimes there are directories missing	as there is a seen() function which checks for files already	seen -- it is mislead by qid.path.	-- FIXED (workaround in du.c) 	In sam this situation is causing a warning about possibly	aliased files (io.c:checkqid()), but it seems not to break	consistency. 	Perhaps a string hash of the full path of a file could be	used as qid.path, although there would still be a problem	in case of collisions. //* cmd/src/sam://* lib9/mingw/fdtab//* programs using announce/listen, or pipe:	When the file descriptor of the server side of a named pipe is	closed, it is disconnected only, but the handle is not closed. This	causes in an increasing number of used handles for each listen()	or pipe() call.	-- FIXED.
