Hi,
I am working on the 4.7.5.2 package for cygwin.

The current cygwin package (4.6.1) is shipped with subshell disabled
as on exit (Menu F10) the subshell remains open while mc close.

The same happens on 4.7.5.2, to replicate:

  $ ps ax
       PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      4460       1    4460       4460    ? 1006 09:52:34 /usr/bin/mintty
      6140    4460    6140        452    0 1006 09:52:34 /usr/bin/bash
      2196    6140    2196       1876    0 1006 10:44:14 /usr/bin/ps


$ mc
(2 times ctrl-O to activate the subshell and return)

$ ps ax
       PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      4460       1    4460       4460    ? 1006 09:52:34 /usr/bin/mintty
      6140    4460    6140        452    0 1006 09:52:34 /usr/bin/bash
I     984       1     984       4516    0 1006 10:44:20 /usr/bin/bash
       432    6140     432       5992    0 1006 10:44:29 /usr/bin/ps


Any suggestion to investigate the problem ?

Marco
