I tried compiling zsh a while ago and found that there were problems
with the way SIGCHLD is handled. zsh starts a command and then waits
in a 'sigsuspend' for a SIGCHLD -- which never shows up. I imagine that
pdksh is doing something similar.
I'm still sort of stumped as to how to go about debugging the cygwin.dll,
so it is difficult to see what is going wrong. Probably there is a problem
with the way signals are being queued.
