Sorry, didn't mean to sound that harsh, but I'm glad I could shock some
useful data out of people... :-)

Thanks, but next time, please provide the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r" as
an *attachment*, as indicated in http://cygwin.com/bugs.html

If emacs is looping on signal delivery, it's unlikely you can squeeze another
signal in...

be very helpful in debugging this problem to someone who knows about
cygwin's signal delivery mechanism.
