What is ctl+a+d anyway? Both ctrl+a and ctrl+d in sequence?

You may have configured hold mode "error" (e.g. Hold=error in 
$HOME/.minttry).
Does the terminal close when you type Enter in it?
Otherwise, and in any case, please test also with Cygwin console or/and 
xterm. Many problems in interactive response reported with mintty turn 
out to actually have some other context.
