Hi Andy, FYI. I have tested out on my Linux machine running bash 3.2.48
(instead of 3.2.49 as on cygwin). I don't have this problem with bash under
xterm with set -o vi and pressing shift PF key. Does this problem happen to you
with set -o vi and pressing shift PF key when using mintty in cygwin? Thanks.
Eric.

Hi Andy, yes the same happens in xterm. I found out the cause of the problem.
I have the following statement in my .bashrc:
set -o vi
Not sure why this would casue the problem of using shift PF key and causing
terminal hung and bash looping.
Thanks
Eric.

I did some more testing. When in mintty, if I press shift and any PF key, the
bash process will go to 50 % CPU. Thanks.

I'm running cygwin 1.7.0(0.212/5/3), bash 3.2.49(23), mintty 0.4.4. I use
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe - and get a terminal session. I then press shift F12.
The window just lock up and the Windows Task Manager shows bash.exe using 50%
of cpu. When I close the hung window, bash.exe task is gone and cpu usage back
to normal. When I use the cygwin console, this problem does not happen. Not
sure whether this problem has been reported yet. Thanks.
Eric.
