Re: 20060521 snapshot, Ctrl-C, and Windows processes

Noticed a problem today: if you start a Windows process in bash and press
Ctrl-C, the Ctrl-C will be delivered to the process, but then bash (or the
Cygwin wrapper that waits for the Windows process) will simply hang until
the Windows process terminates.  If the process does not terminate (e.g.,
"ping -t"), bash will hang until Ctrl-C is pressed 10 times (the delays
between the consecutive Ctrl-Cs don't seem to matter).

CGF seems to have fixed this in the 20060522 snapshot. Yay. I thought I was imagining things.


It only affected Win32 programs (i.e. -mno-cygwin) that did *not* install a SIGINT handler.
