Hi there
I upgraded my Cygwin installation to Cygwin dll 1.7.11-1. Since then when I 
start Cygwin bash under emacs i get the following error message:

        bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for 
device
        bash: no job control in this shell

And indeed, I can't stop subprocesses in this shell, which is very inconvenient.

BTW, I invoke bash in emacs with the arguments "--noediting -i". Both are 
needed.

This is the default when you run M-x shell.

What can I do about the error message?

I can't reproduce this.  Please give a precise recipe for producing the 
problem, starting from `emacs -Q'.  Also, please follow the 
problem-reporting guidelines at

  http://cygwin.com/problems.html

including the part about attaching cygcheck output.
