kbhit() in a native app run from CYGWIN console does not work?

[Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C]]

Hi All,

I have a native Windows app that is run from bash (which is in turn run
in a standard Cygwin terminal window, mintty).  The application's code uses
kbhit() to check whether input is available from the user -- but it looks
like kbhit() never indicates any input (when keys are getting pressed).
The app works just fine if started directly from CMD.EXE.

Is that the expected behavior?
