CTRL+C not working on Cygwin 1.7.15-1

When I installed new package in my Cygwin recently, it also automatically upgraded to latest Cygwin 1.7.15-1 DLL. After this, pressing CTRL+C no longer work
on a running Java process the cygwin shell. I found the reason why this happens, and here is the email I sent to cygwin mailing list:

Okay, I finally found out what's going on.

I used to have an old cygwin installed (not even sure what version) that only has "C:\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat" to start an terminal. This batch file open a terminal that I can run java.exe, and I used to hit CTRL+C to end it (not only that, it will also invoke the Java's shutdown hook.)

After I upgraded to cygwin 1.7.15-1 (it will auto upgrade when we run setup.exe!). The above behavior no longer works!

It turns out the new cygwin 1.7.15-1 automatically comes with Mintty terminal now, and will default to create a Shortcut to this on desktop. Well I still have a shortcut to "C:\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat". What I discover is that Java will no longer work with terminal that opens with "C:\Cygwin\Cygwin.bat"! But it DOES work with the Mintty terminal!

It's all great for me, because I kind of like Mintty terminal. It's kindda funny because for years I would love to use Mintty, but only to stop because CTRL+C wont' work there. Now we have reverse!

However, I have to point out also that although I can hit CTRL+C in mintty to kill a java.exe process, but it DOES NOT invoke the Java's shutdown hook process! Which is shame, because now I can't test my shutdown procedure code.

I hope cygwin team can look at this further and provide a good solution, even for the Java folks like myself. I can only cope with Windows because of cygwin exists, so kudo to all the cygwin team and their hard work!

Hope also this post will help other Java developers out there.

Cheers,
Zemian
