   It came up on this mailing list just *7* days ago.  Refer to the
   thread starting at <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg00838.html>.
   
   Time for a FAQ entry, I guess.


You mean like?:

FWIW, this is the *one* bug that I would put as the most annoying.
Any time I do a remote cvs operation I have to kill the cvs/ssh
process.  I can't use ^C at the shell prompt because that kills my
emacs that is tunnelled through ssh to my work machine.  So I have to
do the old control-alt-delete thing to kill the ssh.


At this point I would settle for a hack that would allow ssh to
'work'.  For example, some sort of timeout on the select call, perhaps
set from an environment variable.
