Also Windows 10 (not yet updated to November update) 64-bit running
64-bit Cygwin, minty and bash was okay.
Also, for fun, I tried this in Power Shell

$ perl -e 'while(1) {sleep 1;}
I was able to control-C out of this.
(And now we all know the way to augment the path in Power Shell!)
Not a recommended way to use Cygwin tools but I thought it was worth adding.
