Hi Chris, Samuel,

>Mmm, IIRC signals can't be delivered unless you call cygwin functions.

If that is actually true, it's a bug.  Cygwin should be able to
interrupt user code.  It doesn't try to interrupt...

...a Windows function like Sleep.  It should interrupt, e.g., a busy
loop in user code, however.

cgf

are we agreed that this is a bug ?
If so how can I get a fix, or a workaround to get me further ?

Thx
Lee
