Hi Thomas,

You are the expert on mintty now ... I only observed a "pattern":

 - when 'ps ax' shows that mintty is "connected" to a 'cons', SIGINT is ignored
 - when 'ps ax' shows that mintty is NOT "connected" to a 'cons', SIGINT is NOT ignored

See the difference in the 2 cases below.

1. invocation of 'mintty' (when bash is connected to a cons)

PATH (64) = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/drv/c/...
Executing .bash_profile
Executing .bashrc, $- = himBH, login_shell on
64-@@ ps ax
