Quote: "The behaviour of apps under CYGWIN=tty appears to be bitrotting
        (for instance try using the current vi and cygwin with this
	setting - its totally impossible)"

What exactly at this sentence gives me (or any other active cygwin
developer) any detail to work with?

"It doesn't work" will not give you any helpful response on any
mailing list, especially when combined with snide comments.

Fine. What next? I told you I can't reproduce that. That's still true.
What details can you provide except for "it doesn't work". What exactly
doesn't work? You didn't even mention that!

The next sentence in your mail begins with: "C-c behaviour is also broken..."
So your first sentence is not related to a non-functional C-c. So what
is it what doesn't work?

I have not the faintest idea about java. So the answer is no, I never
started any java application from a Cygwin shell nor from cmd.
