I've observed this. I added this to my .profile to "fix" the problem.
Maybe it will work for you:
trap '' 5
In cygwin B18, signal 5 is SIGHUP. I think there is a problem in recent
coolviews with the way SIGHUP is propagated to members of a process group.
The `trap' command merely causes the shell to ignore hangup signals.
