 I like to add, this happens only, if "tty" is set in
 CYGWIN-environmentvariable.
 A ps shows the backgroundprocess as "<defunct>. No command
 name.
 I am using cygwin1.1.4, updated on 6.Sept.2000 on NT4


 BTW:
 ssh stops working too, if I have "tty" in CYGWIN-variable
 It hangs idle for ever, asking for my password.
