Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just weird behavior, but on the new
Cygwin the output of 'ps' shows all bash shells but the current one in the
'waiting for tty input' state (an 'I' in the first column).

I also got a bash into a 'stopped' state (an 'S' in the first column of ps
output) by minimizing an xterm quickly, while bash is loading.  This is
only possible to reproduce when cygwin1.dll is not yet loaded, so bash
waits for it.  Sounds like some sort of a race condition...  I'm not sure
how to debug this or provide any additional info.
	Igor
