Should be fixed in CVS.  I'm amazed that the test suite didn't catch
this and/or it isn't biting more people.  It was a simple case of nested
signal handlers not working and I tested that heavily early in my signal
rewrite.  Oh well.  Like most of the problems here in the last two
weeks, this just goes to show the need for beefing up cygwin's test
suite.
