Ok, maybe I shouldn't have done it, but this question prompted me to do
the following, and it had an unexpected result (unexpected to me at
least).
ford AT fordpc ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 fordpc 1.5.8(0.110/3/2) 2004-01-26 14:53 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
[This is current CVS]
ford AT fordpc ~
$ echo $CYGWIN
ford AT fordpc ~
$ sleep 100
[^Z here]
[1]+ Stopped sleep 100
ford AT fordpc ~
$ fg
sleep 100
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
