Look back at first window:
$ sleep 1000

[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 1000
$

This has only started happending with recent cygwin versions, I'm running Oct2 right now.
Erm... and what's wrong with this? It's the same as on Linux.
Well, if this is design intent, then that's fine. But, on older cygwins, it used to just stop the process (the parent of the stopped process (bash) did nothing). It seems a little awkward to me at least, if I stop/start a process, then I end up with both bash & that process running at the same time, in the same console.
