Mmm, IIRC signals can't be delivered unless you call cygwin functions. Another problem can this this too: int main(void) { signal(SIGALRM,handler); alarm(1); Sleep(); } Here I'm using windows' Sleep() function, hence cygwin can't get control. On the contrary, using cygwin's sleep() function makes things work as expected.
