Subject: bug#13653: 24.2.93; cygw32 in daemon mode aborts in response to kill command
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:39:59 -0500

In the cygw32 build, start emacs in daemon mode:

$ emacs --daemon -Q

Now kill it from the terminal:

$ kill PID

The result is an Emacs Abort Dialog box saying a fatal error has 
occurred and asking me if I want to attach a debugger.  I have two 
problems with this.  First, a kill command shouldn't cause emacs to 
abort.  Second, I don't think the cygw32 build should ever pop up an 
abort dialog box.  None of the other emacs builds on Cygwin do this, so 
it's surprising and confusing to users.
