he same issue under cygwin console and mintty. Bash hang under "ESC 24;" se=
quence. Some of the cygwin package information is as follows:
    Cygwin DLL version info:
        DLL version: 1.7.2
Build date: Fri Feb 26 16:41:49 EST 2010

bash                    3.2.49-23
bash-completion         1.1-2

libreadline5            4.3-5
libreadline6            5.2.14-12
libreadline7            6.0.3-2

mintty                  0.5.8-1
