cygwin ksh is pdksh. The specific set of code you gave does not work in
pdksh. Read about it here:
http://web.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/
"Its weak points are that there are still a few differences from ksh88
(the major one is that `echo hi | read x' does not set x in the current
shell - the read is done in a separate process). See the NOTES file in
the distribution for more details."
You can get a Cygwin ksh from www.kornshell.com
