Here's the harsh reality: it is extremely unlikely that anyone is going
to investigate this. If you are using non-cygwin apps with bash and
CTRL-C doesn't work then you are on your own.
I will enthusiastically inspect and evaluate any fixes that you provide
to cygwin to rectify this situation. The fixes must not break current
CTRL-C behavior with cygwin apps.
You are one of a handful of people reporting similar problems. Everyone
seems to be trying to do basically the same thing. They're building
non-cygwin java apps and complaining that CTRL-C doesn't work right.
However, since we are all *cygwin* developers it is not likely that
we'll want to go to the effort of loading non-cygwin, java software on
our system to track your problem down for you. I could be wrong. Maybe
someone is actively working on this. If so, I hope that person steps
forward and offers some insight into how they are progressing and what
their proposed fix might be.
