Don't really see that given that the signal and size info should come from the 
terminal.

Running bash trap -l shows Cygwin has SIGWINCH as 28.
Does this script work when run using > ...\bash script under the cmd shell?
What does Windows terminal do to report window size change, is that available to 
the Cygwin console code, and how does it handle that?
It is possible that the interface and/or signal number is different.

Perhaps repost with a readably reformatted or attached script, and start a 
terminal log on a run with bash -vx to see whether and what signal is received 
and whether the changed size is reported, and attach that.
