CTRL-C kills ALL processes, not just foreground process.


Hello,

I'm having a problem with Cygwin that I've never had before on previous computers/installations.

When I hit CTRL-C to end the current process (e.g. cat some_long_file), ALL my other processes die with it, not just the current process I'm trying to terminate. It's getting annoying, and I haven't been able to figure out why this happens, or how to fix it.

I work on a Windows machine running Cygwin. I use Cygwin to ssh to a linux machine and launch my development tools from there (editor, source control, etc). These applications run like a charm on my machine using KDE on Cygwin the X Window tunnelling in SSH.

Even when I use CTRL-C in a separate cygwin window than the one I am ssh'ing from, my ssh connection dies, killing my editor, source control GUI, etc.


Can I fix this somehow, so that sending a CTRL-C signal to a running process ONLY kills that process, and NOT everything else that's running?



Thanks in advance for any suggestions,


Nik

P.S. Attached is the output of cygcheck -s -v -r.
