I don't think the following NTEmacs behavior has been reported.
Running B19.1 with latest coolview on win95.

If you enter NTemacs 19.34 with CYGWIN32=tty and your shell-file-name's
value is "cmdproxy" then shell-command will fail launching gnuwin
applications properly (try gcc -v). Emacs and the application will hang.
After the application is killed (with ctrl-alt-del) its output will appear
in the shell buffer and everything will be well again (!).
If the command is asynchronous (ends with &) its output appears immediately
in the buffer and emacs unfreezes after a while but the command stays alive
in the background (kill it with ctrl-alt-del).
The problem does not appear if CYGWIN32 does not have tty or if your
shell-file-name's value is "bash".
What's the explanation? Is this a bug or a feature?

By the way, the problem with cygwin and PID reported in the NTemacs FAQ
seems to have disappeared in b19.
