Many FSCTL_PIPE_PEEK operations?

I just installed SysInternals' FileMon utility and have discovered all 
kinds of unknown activity going on behind the scenes.

One that surprised me was Bash.  FileMon says that Bash is doing 90-100 
FSCTL_PIPE_SEEK operations EVERY SECOND!  It does this even if a command is 
running, so there is no open prompt looking for input.

Is it *supposed* to do that??  

I'm running 3.2.17(15)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) on XP Pro.
