That is the simple testcase. I can take any large C file on my system
and type "gcc -pipe file.c" to begin compilation. As soon as the
console window title changes from GCC to CPP to indicate that
cpp.exe is running, I type Ctrl+C and nothing happens. I then
quickly type Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the list of running tasks and
see that GCC has terminated (because of my Ctrl+C) but CPP is
still running. I'm saying there is a bug in Cygwin that makes apps
running in a pipe ignore Ctrl+C.
