    KWSys Process: Workaround child kill trouble on Cygwin · 0c7f84ca
    Brad King authored
    When we kill a child we send SIGSTOP first so that we can traverse its
    child processes recursively.  On unwinding the recursion we then send
    SIGKILL.  Current Cygwin has trouble when both signals are sent in quick
    succession by the parent process.  Add a usleep(1) after sending the
    first signal to give up our time slice and give Cygwin a chance to
    process the first signal before sending the second.
