I imagine it will be fixed before the release of Emacs 24.3.
Agree the initial part is emacs. But I suspect the confused bash
business is not. ^G should either send SIGINT or not, this core dump
thing is not cool.
Do you know whether this is Cygwin-specific?  Have you checked to see
what happens on Linux?
Oops, you're right: I see the exact same behavior on linux. However,
that's via ssh in a mintty window, so it could still be mintty. Can
somebody running Linux directly verify, perhaps?
Linux (at least my setup on Fedora 17) has the same problem - when using
emacs as the editor under 'git commit', an ill-timed ctrl-G on my part
unceremoniously kills emacs as a result of sending the SIGINT to the
entire process group.  I hate the behavior, but it is definitely not
cygwin-specific.
Right, but what happens to processes when you hit ^G after resetting the terminal to use ^C? Does it cause a seg fault? That's the part that might still be cygwin-specific.

And yes, hopefully emacs fixes this Real Soon Now...
