with the "Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA) Service" observed on
Windows 7. For some reason, when starting long running sessions from
mintty, the affected svchost.exe process takes more and more memory and
at one point takes over the CPU. At this point the machine becomes
unresponsive. The only way to get back to normal is to stop the entire
mintty session, or to stop the PCA service. However, a process which
is controlled by PCA is part of a compatibility job, which allows child
processes to break away from the job. This helps to avoid this issue. */
