Chuck,

I would start by trying the latest snapshot.  Cygwin 1.5.7 has some 
problems with signal handling.

If you start JBoss with a script, you could also try changing it from 
/bin/sh to /bin/bash or vice versa, since I seem to recall the two shells 
handling signals differently in 1.5.7.  That might not be true any longer, 
though, with the latest ash.

Finally, you can try to explicitly kill the Jboss (Java?) process using 
something like the following.

---------------------------
#!/bin/bash

enTrapSIGINT () {
   kill $child_pid;
   exit;
}

trap enTrapSIGINT 2

startJboss &
child_pid = $!
wait
----------------------------
