I just tried your suggestion but my cygwin.bat file only contains:

@echo off
cd\cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

with no extra lines trailing. However, I have had some success in finding
a cause. It seems that whenever I use ctrl-c at any time during the use of
cygwin, eg. I run a find from root and halfway I press ctrl-c to cancel
it. Once pressed the key sequence seems to get stored and is only
processed by the dos shell when I leave cygwin which could be a number of
hours later. If ctrl-c is pressed for any reason during the use of cygwin
I will allways get the message "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?", which is why
I thought it was intermittant. Not sure whats going on here. Could cygwin
be stroring the ctrl-c sequence and sending it to the dos shell on
exit? The message I get is the same one you get when trying to stop a
batch file halfway through processing.


Can anyone else reproduce this or is it just me? It happens on both my
machines which are running 98 and 2000.


Thanks,

~Lee Savidge
