Cygwin DLL 1.7.28 32-bit Windows 8.1 64-bit (build 6.3.9600) *Steps to reproduce* 1) Open Cygwin bash prompt 2) Type: ssh blargh # or any non-existent host 3) Press Ctrl-C immediately after that
On my machine, the Ctrl-C doesn't stop SSH from trying to look up the non-existent host, it keeps going until it gives up and times out (which takes about 10 seconds of my machine, YMMV). This problem is not specific to SSH, it just happens to be the most reliable way to reproduce it. It happens frequently with other programs too, but I haven't been able to find any pattern, it seems Ctrl-C sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It's a regression because the cases where Ctrl-C doesn't work used to work in earlier Cygwin releases, but unfortunately I can't give you exact version numbers... I also checked that this happens both inside mintty and the native Win32 console, it made no difference. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
