Has anyone seen this problem with hitting CTRL+C.....

launch a cygwin shell on your windows box.

launch an xterm in the background.

start a compile off (or something that takes time) in the xterm.

start a compile off (or something that takes time) in the cygwin shell.

now hit CTRL+C in the cygwin shell. 

It ends up sending a signal to both xterm and the cygwin shell stopping both
compiles.

Anyone seen this ? It may be a problem with cygwin's signal handling as the
xterm process has been spawned in the background.

I'm using NT 4.0 (SP6) with XFree86 4.1.0
