That shouldn't be necessary. The CYGWIN=tty is inherited by just one process. It isn't shared. >> for (( i = 1 ; i '<' 100000 ; i = i + 1 )) ; do : ; done Cygwin's CTRL-Z emulation isn't perfect. It may not work well in a scenario where you're in a tight loop in user space code which is what the above bash loop would be. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
