+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects
+ the -blocking option when closing. The windows pipe driver
+ now has the same behavior as the UNIX side. This change is
+ to avoid a hung shell when exiting due to open pipes that
+ refuse to close in a graceful manner.
+ * doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of
+ exit status as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+ Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the
+ UNIX side) set -blocking to 1 before calling [close] to
+ receive the exit status.
+
+ * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1/2): added 'fconfigure $f
+ -blocking 1' so the exit status can be acquired.
