I managed to duplicate this once a couple of days ago in a mintty/tcsh
process but I had a very hard time consistently hitting it. So I wrote
a test case which ran ping repeatedly in a loop under mintty while another
process killed it. Eventually, I could duplicate the problem in a few
minutes. There were two problems, one illustrated by the "sigwaitinfo"
mentioned in another thread and another caused by a race.
After making some changes to signal handling, I ran the test case for an
afternoon without issue.
The current snapshot has these changes.
I'd appreciate feedback on whether or not this fixes this problem.
