commit 717db9fd1ce369d5279480613bcf61daf658309a Author: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]> Date: Sat May 2 15:03:07 2020 +0200 setup_pseudoconsole(): handle missing/incorrect helper gracefully When `cygwin-console-helper.exe` is either missing, or corresponds to a different Cygwin runtime, we currently wait forever while setting up access to the pseudo console, even long after the process is gone that was supposed to signal that it set up access to the pseudo console. Let's handle that more gracefully: if the process exited without signaling, we cannot use the pseudo console. In that case, let's just fall back to not using it.
