I'm a bit puzzled. I don't see any difference in behaviour on Linux and
Cygwin related to your testcase. I have no problems to trigger the
user_input_loop call on Linux and Cygwin. After I press ctrl-z, I don't
get into it on both systems. After unsuspending the process, I get into
user_input_loop on both systems again. Either your testcase is wrong,
or you should exactly specify what has to be typed to trigger the
problem. I tested this with Cygwin 1.5.24 and Linux 2.6.20.5, btw.
