Unless the <process-PID> refers to the bash process itself, it seems that
the behavior of 3.0-2 is wrong. Not sure if it's a bash bug, or a Cygwin
signal handling bug exposed by bash (the behavior of /bin/kill seems to
point toward the latter).
To help debug this, please provide the exact sequence of commands you used
to trigger this behavior, as well as the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your
system.
