Can't start julia windows binary from within WSL

[davidanthoff]

• Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.81]

• What you're doing and what's happening: I download the windows julia binary from here and install it normally. I then start wsl (Ubuntu 18.04). From within WSL I then try to start the julia windows, which errors:

davidanthoff@DANTHOFF-5820:/mnt/c/Users/david/source/julia-cb$ /mnt/c/Users/david/AppData/Local/julia-0.6/bin/julia.exe
ERROR: error initializing stdio in uv_pipe_open (2, 7)
^C
davidanthoff@DANTHOFF-5820:/mnt/c/Users/david/source/julia-cb$

When I start the same julia windows binary from say PowerShell, it starts successfully:

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead: The problem is that I can't start the julia windows binary from within WSL, while I can start it from Windows. I would expect that it can just be started from within WSL and work normally.

• Strace of the failing command, if applicable: here
