little Ctrl-C inconvenience


Hi again,

this effect is not so important but I mention it for completeness.

If CYGWIN is set to `tty' and you start a shell in a console window, pressing
Ctrl-C leads into a logout of the shell.
Interesting: This is true only, if the shell is the process, that opens
the console window. If you start another shell in this shell, the effect
is not reproducable in the subshell. After returning to the parent shell,
it's reproducable again.

This happens neither with CYGWIN=notty nor in a terminal emulation.

Regards,
Corinna
