I just updated my cygwin and also have the same problem under ntemacs.
Following another suggestion somewhere I recompiled bash eliminating the
test for using a pty in jobs.c (line 3703) and I no longer get the error,
but I still can't terminate or suspend any jobs. Very hard to use the shell
if you can't kill a job. :)
Does anyone have any solutions or know if anyone is working on this?
