This has been reported as far back as 2002 [1], and there were a few reports in 2004 [2] and 2005 [3]. Corinna claimed [4] that this was fixed, but I can still easily reproduce this with both 1.5.20 and the latest snapshot (20060718), using the latest openssh/openssl. STC (from a console bash):
$ uname -svr CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.21s(0.156/4/2) 20060718 11:35:58 $ echo $CYGWIN check_case:strict ntsec notitle binmode nosmbntsec notty $ DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 /bin/ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Ctrl-C>Killed by signal 2. $ I will try to investigate this as time permits, but if someone better versed in Cygwin signal handling cares to take a look, I won't complain. As Rob said, adding "tty" to $CYGWIN is a workaround.
