R: bash hang question

[ERIC HO]

I was running cygwin-1.7 snapshots 20100223. I tried out 20100226 and got the same issue under cygwin console and mintty. Bash hang under "ESC 24;" sequence. Some of the cygwin package information is as follows:
    Cygwin DLL version info:
        DLL version: 1.7.2
Build date: Fri Feb 26 16:41:49 EST 2010

bash                    3.2.49-23
bash-completion         1.1-2

libreadline5            4.3-5
libreadline6            5.2.14-12
libreadline7            6.0.3-2

mintty                  0.5.8-1

It could just me having this issue. Thanks.

Regards,

Eric.
