CTRL-C should work just fine without CYGWIN=tty. In fact, it should work better than CYGWIN=tty in situations where system time is being consumed by a runaway process. I don't see any reason why either Cygwin or bash should become unresponsive due to a program which consumes CPU. >Hint - following the problem reporting directions would have helped us >know right off whether you were using the Windows console: > >> Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Right. In this situation a test case and better description of the problem is required, too. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
