Hi Cygwin List,

I've read some messages on this topic, but haven't been able to find a  
resolution to my problem.

Here's what I'm doing at the bash prompt:

$ /c/Windows/system32/ping.exe -t cygwin.com

The result is an endless ping trace - as expected.

The problem is that I have no way of stopping this command.  Here is  
what I've tried:
   1) CTRL+C: does nothing
   2) CTRL+Z: does nothing
   3) CTRL+Break: Prints the text "Control-Break" in the output, but  
doesn't exit the ping process (expected, since it behaves the same way  
when running under cmd.exe).

I would expect CTRL+C to stop the process (the way it does when  
running under cmd.exe).

I would also expect CTRL+Z to suspend the process, so that I could  
then manage it with "bg" and "fg".

I first noticed something was weird because when I upgraded cygwin  
CTRL+C stopped working (i.e. had no effect) when pressed in the middle  
of an "msbuild.exe" run.  Previously, this caused msbuild to stop.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Rob.
