Hello Andrey,

let's forget about the hanging mintty window. I was chasing a ghost, it 
seems.
Mintty is not involved in the Jenkins automation chain.

I'll write another post where I try to list my trouble and experiments 
with hanging
Jenkins builds invoked via OpenSSH in cygwin on windows slaves/agents.
