Re: ctrl-c swallowed
That's what the mailing list is for. This kind of discussion should be kept on the mailing list so that it can be found in the archives. The information generated by cygcheck should not present any security issues, but I'll let others comment on this. The reason I asked for your /cygwin.bat was that others reported that Ctrl-C becomes ineffective if start was used to fire off the bash shell, so if you had modified your /cygwin.bat, that would explain the problem. As for the cygcheck output, I'd've looked for the contents of the CYGWIN environment variable there, especially the setting of tty (as was already suggested on the list by Brian Dessent). Also, having the list of packages and DLL versions in the cygcheck output lets others duplicate your environment in an attempt to reproduce your problem.

That's all, just my observation. Yeah! Thats correct! For some reason, if pico (or nano) is runned with CYGWIN=tty, it will make the terminal go crazy when it is terminating. The terminal will not display any output, just consume input. stty sane or reset did not alter that behaviour... I find this behaviour if i set the cygwin=tty variable after having started the bash prompt. Setting it before (ie adding it to the system environment variables) has no problems. ctrl-C and (i think) ctrl-T not working in nano are the only reasons i set cygwin=tty.

ctrl-c swallowed
Hello! When I use the Programs-cygwin-cygwin bash shell, I get a console window with a bash shell, but ctrl-c presses never reaches the applications. I presume that it is the bash application that swallows them, or? When I run bash in xfree (shipped with cygwin), the problem is not there, ctrl-c presses is reaching the application. However, I need to use the console.

A better solution, in my opinion, is to ditch CMD.EXE completely and use rxvt as the terminal -- it will work equally well regardless of whether XFree86 is running or not.
