This is a side effect of the fact that cygwin did not used to have restartable
signals.  As of the last week or so, I've started implementing this so CTRL-Z
shold work better.  There was also another unrelated problem with stopping a
cygwin process which I've also fixed.

I doubt that it is related, and I've never seen this so I can't fix it.
