Hi

I am kinda new in cygwin and i need some help. 

What i do now.
I have a win32 application. In that i am launching using 
CreateProcess, ssh. Also i intercept stdin, stdout and stderr using 
pipes. 

What i want to do:
At a certain point in time i want to terminate the ssh process i 
launched

The problem:
Now i am terminating the process using TerminateProcess. It seems 
that its not really a good idea. When i try to close the handle of 
the pipe for stderr with CloseHandle the application freezes, never 
comes back from that. It looks to me like its a deadlock inside or 
something. I also have a thread that listens when something is 
written in stderr and that freezes too in FileRead call. 

What other possible ways of terminating i have. I was thinking to 
emulate a CTRL+C but i don't know so much of cygwin internals. 

Thanks
Best regards
Mihai
