If executed from mintty CTRL-C works to interrupt the process. If
executed from a Windows console terminal (and I don't mean cmd.exe)
ping doesn't interrupt with CTRL-C. Another interesting thing, ``run
bash --login -i'' starts the process but the Window closes with the
process in the background and I have to use the Task Manager to kill
it, Cygwin's kill doesn't kill it. However ``run mintty'' works
regardless.
