Chris,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

As I understand (understood :-) it, the terminal driver issues various
signals to the current process in response to predetermined input
sequences (set via stty). Thus with the "standard" stty config, ctrl-C
sends an SIGINT, ctrl-S sends SIGSTOP, etc. This gels with my practical
experience in that kill -STOP|-CONT <pid> works the same as
ctrl-S|ctrl-Q (on every unix I've worked on (linux, solaris,
cywgin-sometimes).

Oh, if it were that easy :-)

I believe ctrl-Z is normally associated with SIGSUSP (suspend), which
behaves much as you have described - pausing execution of the process
(not just it's i/o).

Tried that, without success. My (system wide) CYGWIN environment
variable is now "ntsec ntea tty", the problem still occurs as before.

What happens when you try ctrl-S/Q within bash?
