After upgrading my cygwin environment this morning to version 1.7.11-1, I am no longer able to use cygwin bash as a shell within native GnuEmacs (Windows).
When I invoke M-x shell, I now get the following output in the shell window: bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell $ The shell window is functional, but as the error message suggests, I have no Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z or other job control functions. Here are my shell related .emacs settings: (setq explicit-shell-file-name "c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe") I am using: GnuEmacs version 23.4.1 (latest) Bash version 4.1.10-4 also Bash version 3.2.51-24 (removes error message, but job control still doesn't work) I also tried the cygwin1.dll from the 3/10 snapshot and saw no difference in behavior.
