I think basically you just have to ensure that the stub doesn't exit on CTRL-C. I can't think of a scenario where that's desireable now. I think you could get just about the same behavior that you're describing if you just blocked SIGINT prior to calling CreateProcess. However, you've uncovered another problem in that it is possible for both the stub and the child to fire off a kill() resulting in double sending of CTRL-C during an exec(). So, I think the easiest fix for the current problem is just to do a 'signal (SIGINT, SIG_IGN)' prior to calling CreateProcess, restoring the previous signal handler if the CreateProcess fails. That doesn't solve the double sending of CTRL-Cs but that's a separate problem, I think. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
