(I'm testing on Windows 10, BTW.) No, I don't observe that. And neither does the CI build: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/runs/317137275 This CI build tested the `js/mingw-inherit-only-std-handles` branch that is mirrored into gitgitgadget/git from https://github.com/gitster/git.

I wonder how you get that ERANGE when I get an ENOENT (and so do all the CI/PR builds that did not catch this). Will send a fix shortly. Thanks, Dscho > And why don't you observe the failure?
