The "test" command doesn't seem to work on Gow 0.8.0 / Windows 10 64-bit #215

After a fresh install of Windows 10 64-bit on my Lenovo W530 and install of the Gow 0.8.0 I cannot seem to get the "test" command working at all.

Before that the bash did not work but after creating the "/etc" folder it was fixed.

Now typing "test", "test -?", "test --help", "test -f somefilename" or anything like that does not produce anything.

Is there a way to fix that?

THANKS!

Does test complete, or appear to hang? Appears test --help does try to do something, but produces no output.

Not specific to GoW, but I have noticed the Creators Update to Win10 x64 may have changed some features in the 'console' that impact all command shells that use it. Not yet certain, but some issues could be related to using win32 apps/utilities under x64 shells. For example, head.exe is very slow (GoW's is even slower than the one from UnxUtils).

So slow that head.exe appears to be doing nothing. Worse, other (non-shell) apps are impeded until head.exe finished.
