Running bash in two windows in NT with CYGWIN32 set to "tty":

In bash shell #1, export STRACE=1,foobarbaz.  Then type ls -l and then
rapid control-Cs to freeze.

In bash shell #2, tail -f foobarbaz.

Control-Cs to the hung process still do something if you watch the
strace output -- at the freeze, the strace output is hung on
wait_sig.  The additional control-Cs make it go through proc_subproc
stuff and then it returns to blocking on wait_sig...

Other times when I don't hit control-C at that particular time, it'll
hang for a few seconds on do_exit calling ExitProcess and then finish
being interrupted successfully.

I can't seem to control-C fast enough to cause the bug when tty is not
set but I think it's there too.
