Re: OpenSSH on Cygwin... Ctl-C kills the session

["Chris McDonough" <chrism at zope dot com>]

Note that I solved this problem in a silly way:  by downgrading to
OpenSSH 2.3.1p1.

This was a matter of downloading
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-2.3.0p1.tar
.gz, untgzing, and compiling as per the instructions that ship with
the Cygwin binary OpenSSH, e.g.:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --w
ith-pcre; make; make install

After downgrading, a SIGINT sent via Ctrl-C does not kick me out of
the SSH session itself, just out of the running program on the remote
host (as you would expect).
