Steps to reproduce:

1. Start cygwin using cygwin.bat
2. Run `ping -t google.com`
3. Try breaking it with Ctrl+C

Expected behaviur:
The ping breaks execution and the command prompt is shown and available

Actual behaviour:
Nothing happens, ping loops until killed with `/usr/bin/kill -f PID`

Variations:
a) If, in step #1 cygwin is started with mintty (using Cygwin 
Terminal.lnk), Ctrl+C works as expected. Same with rxvt - ping breaks, 
and command prompt is shown.

b) If, in step #1 cygwin is started with console2 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/), Ctrl-C behaves as in 
"actual" - i.e. does not work. This is no surprise, as console2, runs a 
hidden cmd.exe (which runs a cygwin.bat), so the behaviour should be the 
same as in pure cmd.exe.

c) If, in step #2 a bat file is run, which in turn executes Java Virtual 
Machine (a good example is an run.bat of the JBoss AS), Ctrl+C works as 
below:
   - in mintty/rxvt it appears to break the execution
     and a command prompt is show, however the JVM process keeps working
   - in cmd.exe Ctrl+C does nothing

Other:
uname -srv: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.16(0.262/5/3) 2012-07-20 22:55
os: Windows 7 Home Pro PL 64 bit, and Windows XP Professional PL, 32 bit

Greetings to everybody, as this is my first post here.
Marcin Kielar

P.S. As for "run.bat" example for JBoss AS - I'm aware, there is a 
run.sh script. The bat is just used to show the problem.

P.S/2 This was also confirmed on Cygwin 1.7.15 and the latest snapshot 
(20120801)
