Windows locks up when pressing Ctrl+S while native process writes to terminal

["Aaron Digulla" <digulla at hepe dot com>]

Hello,

I found a consistent bug that happens every time:

- Find a project that uses Maven to build
- Install Maven and Oracle Java 8
- Run the maven build (mvn clean install)
- Press Ctrl+S to stop the output in the terminal

Bug #1: It's not possible to unfreeze the output in the terminal with Ctrl+Q. It just stays "stuck"

Bug #2: After a few seconds, the disk starts to trash. Might be swap, I don't know for sure since I can only move the mouse. Window isn't responding to keyboard our mouse clicks anymore. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, either.

I have to turn off the computer by flipping the power switch.

My guess is that this happens because Java is a native process which is started from BASH.

Has someone else seen this? Is there anything that I can do to fix this?

Note: I removed all sensitive information from the attached cygcheck output.

Regards,
