Hello,

I am attempting to use the cygwin version of emacs and emacsclient, 
however I am running into an issue.  The scenario that I am attempting 
is as follows:

1.  Launching emacs from mintty (both of which were installed from the 
cygwin installer).
2.  A simple init.el inside the .emacs.d directory that looks like this 
(http://pastie.org/1590067).
3.  Background emacs with C-z
4.  Launch emacsclient somefile.txt to edit the file.

When I perform step 4, the command prompt doesn't appear to invoke 
emacsclient, the display does not change, and I do not see the file I am 
attempting to view.  I have to issue a C-c to break the prompt back to 
normal user input.

Version Information:
mintty:      0.9.5
emacs:       23.2.1
emacsclient: 23.2

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the cause of this 
behavior?  Should this in fact work?  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.  Thanks.
