Subject: Re: killing Win32 apps from bash (and ash)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

As a follow-up to my initial posting: this problem does *not* occur when
I run the Win32 app from an ash ("sh") shell (whose parent shell is
*not* a bash shell) i.e. signals are propagated to the Win32 app by ash,
but not by bash. bucweat_20657 at yahoo.com, who posted messages about
the same problem back in August, informs me that this is considered to
be a feature of Cygwin's bash, not a bug, although the rationale is lost
on us, particularly since there is inconsistent behavior between ash and
bash. So, AFAIK, there is no "fix" since this is the accepted behavior
of bash.
