1.7.12 breaks stdout of upx packed executables


Hi...

Just updated to 1.7.12 and found one regression. If you have upx packed executables (upx from cygwin distribution) the stdout of the packed executable is broken now.

Try the following from mintty:
upx --best /usr/bin/tar.exe -o /tmp/tar.exe
/tmp/tar.exe

You will notice that when you invoke the compressed /tmp/tar.exe that no output will be sent to the mintty console, while it works if you just invoke /usr/bin/tar.exe

It works just fine with 1.7.11. When you decompress the executable using upx -d it will start to work again.

This is not specific to tar, but to any exe I have seen right now.

Strange,

Roland
