The only way I found to break out of this was to bring up the debugger,
close it, then type Ctrl+C at the hung bash shell. The bash shell
appears to be fine at that point, but you can never close it (short of
- kill it via the task manager).
- This needs a better <wink> workaround (Python program or shell script
- replacement).
- Same thing if xcopy32 is used instead.

+ Same thing if xcopy32 is used instead.
+ xcopy works OK directly from a bash shell. The segfaults occur if it's
+ run via a makefile, or via a shell script. Guessing a problem with I/O
+ redirection, since some other apps can't see keyboard input before the
+ hung stuff is killed.
+
+ Workaround: xxcopy works fine <http://www.xxcopy.com/>; free for
+ personal use, but not for commercial use. Rename it to xcopy.exe and
+ get it into your path before the native xcopy, or fiddle the XCOPY
+ defn in common.mk to use xxcopy instead of xcopy.
