It may be a Cygwin specific problem. Approximately at the time the

This is a known cygwin problem, caused by the fact that cygwin tcl is
not cygwin-aware, which makes cygwin have a tough time knowinghow to
manage controlling ttys across a parent and grandchild process with a
non-cygwin process in the middle:

Bash may yet have a bug where it over-reacts to a failed tty ioctl, by
exiting instead of reporting the problem, but if that turns out to be
the case, I will follow up here with more details.
