This happens to me since day-one of using Cygwin (at least 4 years ago) so
if you see it only sometimes, you're lucky!;-) AFAIK, the reason is because
the Cywgin processes (or is it somehow just related to bash?) don't respond
to the logoff notification. I remember talk about this on the mail list
from long ago. The result was to leave things "as-is", since there was
some concern that a change would cause other problems. If you're interested,
check the mail archives and ferret around in the code a bit to see what you
can come up with. I find it a small annoyance myself but, as you can see,
I haven't let it slow me down over the years!;-)
