CollabNet Subversion hangs upon a commit abort under mintty

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Install latest Cygwin, mintty, and CollabNet Subversion
2. touch and svn add a test file to a valid repository
3. export SVN_EDITOR=notepad
4. svn ci, exit the editor without saving, and hit 'a' to abort

The expected result is that the checkin aborts and the user is returned to
the prompt - this actually happens when using the standard Cygwin cmd
shell.  Under mintty (and PuTTYcyg), the command hangs indefinitely
requiring a CTRL-C and subsequent svn cleanup.

Tested using Cygwin Nov 13 2009 (1.5 DLL), mintty-0.5.3-cygwin15, and
CollabNet Subversion 1.6.6-4.win32 under Windows XP SP3 32-bit.
