Subject:	subprocs in Emacs shells won't die with comint-interrupt-subjob

With the new Cygwin, when I run a subprocess in an Emacs shell,
pressing C-c C-c (which executes "comint-interrupt-subjob") does not
kill the subprocess.  The title bar flashes, but that's all.  When the
running process is a Java application, it also does a thread dump,
which is supposed to happen when it gets a "QUIT" signal.  I've
verified these symptoms with Emacs v 20.4, 20.6, and 20.7.

However, if I retreat to Cygwin B20.1, without changing anything else,
this symptom goes away.  Pressing C-c C-c in the shell properly kills
the subprocess.

I'd really like to move up to the new cygwin, but not being able to
easily kill subprocesses in the shell is extremely inconvenient.
