Summary: `pbcopy` fails at a pretty significant rate, making the clipboard unusable. From the terminal fails about 10-20% of the time in the trivial case of copying plain text content. It seems to fail like 30-40% of the time when using CMD+C to copy lines of code in Xcode, making it very difficult to use the machine productively. Looking at the contents of the Clipboard in Finder indicates that there is nothing on the Clipboard when this happens. Steps to Reproduce: Run the following command in a Terminal many times: > echo foo | pbcopy && pbpaste Expected Results: The output `foo` should appear consistently in the Terminal each time the command is run. Actual Results: `foo` is output is displayed sometimes, but sometimes nothing appears. Version/Build: MacOS Mojave 10.14.1 Configuration: MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) Full system info dump attached
