Kazuhiro's mail was not a report of a problem.  It was a rant.  It was
very surprising coming from someone I thought "got it".

Frankly, I am also surprised at this email coming from someone else
I thought got it.  Haven't I seen you frequently ask people for details
in the cygwin mailing list?

This is an actual bug report.  I am not "enraged" to hear it.  It is
close to the kind of feedback that I was hoping for.

I could use a little more detail, however, like when this started
failing.  It sounds like this could be related to Egor's changes to
pty handling or, if this is very recent, to my signal handling changes.

>I agree with Kazuhiro, it isn't ready to release.

And, that, also answers the question.  That is what I was asking for.
