Thanks! Now spawnvp() really behaves like spawn.

As reported in the original mail, but only being a minor nuisance,
the spawned child is still not interruptible by CTRL-c when
CYGWIN=3Dtty in bash from cmd.exe is used, or when rxvt is used.

The symptoms changed slightly compared to before the fix
but essentially the spawned child is still unbreakable.

Use the files from the original email and try hitting CTRL-c while
breaktestwin.exe is running from a tty enabled shell.
The SIGINT will be handled for the parent but not passed down to the
child (As I learned this is/should be done by the shell.)

Thanks for the quick fix of the major part of the problem

  Volker
