I use tho most recent 1.3.9. You are probably using another
version of Windows. I did several tests and discovered different 
action depending on Windows version:

Win 95/98/ME	- fails (signal never received)
Win NT4	- OK (signal is serviced)

Is it bug in Cygwin or bug/misconfiguration of Windows ?
