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.
