 Larry has a point.

 NTEmacs:  "stty: standard input: Not a character device"  BREAK does not
work
 XEmacs for NT: "stty: standard input: Not a character device"  BREAK does
not work
 cygwin XEmacs: stty works correctly.   BREAK works.

 Note that results are the same whether typing C-c C-c, selecting BREAK
from the "Signals" menu, or typing M-x comint-interrupt-subjob  (as one 
would expect)

 Setting CYGWIN=TTY does not seem to matter. (Not sure if I tried all
combos)
