I'm seeing something different, but I'm running a pretest of emacs-24.4 
rather than emacs-24.3.  I find that the output is never displayed, with 
or without "sleep 1".  But if I remove the "&" from 1.sh, then the 
output is always displayed (again, with or without "sleep 1").  Could 
you try installing the test release emacs-24.3.90-1 and see if you get 
the same results I'm getting?

I don't know if there's a bug here or not.  If there is, it's not 
specific to Cygwin; I get the same behavior on Fedora 20.

Do you have a use case for wanting to call asynchronously a command 
that's already running asynchronously (because of the "&")?

Ken
