I am a bit confused by the second paragraph.  In the usual DOS
command.com and, I thought, in the cmd.exe of WinNT, a ^C is simply an
interrupt.  Unlike UNIX, it cannot be changed, that I know of, by any
simple command interface.  Regardless, it is just an interrupt and
should stop a running process.  If the Cygwin stuff is supposed to
maintain some compatability with the MS environment, then I do not see
why it would be necessary or desireable to have new threads spawned by
this key sequence.

As an additional note, I am running WinNT 4.0 workstation with service
pack 3 and have used ^C to stop processes, many times at least once, and
a few times with multiple times, and have never had a hang or other
problem.

To have tty support for the cygwin bash you need to add to the list of
values for the CYGWIN32 environment variable "TTY" before you start
bash.  This may cause problems for some non-cygwin programs.

The other problem is that ^C begins a new thread and the cygwinb19.dll
is NOT thread safe.  So, you hit ^C once and you've got one unsafe
thread, hit again then you've got another and so on.
