Subject: Process does not respond to signals on read() of win32 handle.
Message-ID: <Springmail.0994.1036608644.0.87003600@webmail.atl.earthlink.net>
X-Originating-IP: 155.53.34.30

I have a program that opens a Win2k driver using CreateFile and then
associates it with a file desciprtor using cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd().
I then do a read() on the descriptor. At this point the program stops
responding to CTRL-Cs etc. until something is written to the device and
the read() returns.  Only then is the signal caught and the process exits.

I have tried the same program in a pure Win32  environment using CreateFile()
and ReadFile() calls, and things seem to
work as expected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Sanjay
