This simple command fails in bash:
echo "print 'tsql'" | sqlcmd -E
it works correctly in a regular old command prompt.
It used to work with previous versions of cygwin. I've also tried inserting various flavors of unix2dos in there, and I've looked at the output with "od -c". So I'm quite sure it's not just a LF vs. CR/LF problem.
Looking at this thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00205.html
leads me to believe something got broken in cygwin, but I've been unable to chase down any more leads.
Does anyone have any clues, other than generating a temp file, and then using
sqlcmd -E -i tempfile
which does work, but it's ugly.
