This is untrue. I just discovered that if you wait long enough, the input is echoed and the rxvt becomes normal again. If you type another CTRL-C, you get a fresh prompt, but still no input echoed. If you hit CTRL-C *again*, then everything you typed gets passed through to the shell and acted upon! (I.e. the input hasn't been flushed by the CTRL-C, and there is some process/thread that ignores the interrupt and refuses to echo the input as it occurs.) luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
