Just to clarify: This is a show stopper. It is now one of three
show stoppers.
I can't duplicate it and I don't expect that I will be able to.
I don't know how it would even be possible to suspend a process in
CYGWIN=notty state. That should only be possible in a read from the
terminal which make obviously isn't doing.
So, I'm relying on three people now to fix their show stoppers.
