Re: Can't stop find-grep-dired when using Cygwin for the inferior process

[Richard Stallman]

    The problem on w32 is that w32 sends a message to the process when 
    delete-process is used. W32 then expects the process to answer to some 
    w32 message (can't remember which one right now). Cygwin does not answer 
    to this message. Then w32 shows a dialog box and asks the user what to do.

Does this mean it is a bug in Cygwin?

    But it works quite nicely AFICT with sending signals to Cygwin instead 
    using interrupt-process or kill-process. So why not try these first and 
    then shoot with delete-process if they do not work within a couple of 
    seconds?

We could do that as a workaround, if it will take time for the real
fix to get into wide use.  But first let's make sure that the bug
does get fixed.
