hi, 
I've been experiencing this problem for quite some time. Whenever I do a
tail (eg. "tail -f abc.txt | grep abc"), and then Ctrl-C to exit the tail, I
can't type in new commands to the command prompt anymore.

All I could do is close that window and open another cygwin session.

Can anybody help?

thanks
