I'm using Cygwin (just got the latest version this week, 
but I had a slightly earlier version since earlier this 
year) on Windows 95 OSR 2 and have never experienced this 
probem at any time.  I can start a bash shell, press 
ctrl-c any number of times I like in whatever circumstances 
I want, and then type logout and the bash window vanishes
forthwith, sans passing go or collecting $200.

I *do* have a problem where if a cygwin window (whether
bash or somethinge else doesn't seem to matter) is in
the _foreground_ while wincron launches another process,
the cygwin window will stop responding.  (Asicutil2 is
what gets blamed as "[Not Responding]" in the Close
Program dialogue box.)  Is this an unrelated problem,
possibly a wincron problem?  It only happens when
cygwin is in the foreground when the new process is
launched; if anything else has the focus it doesn't 
happen.

The nature of the launched process is probably not
important; it's usually a batch file (because that's 
what I usually launch from wincron).  Also, the
launched process generally doesn't *do* anything
except sit in the taskbar until I kill off 
asicutil2, at which point the new launched process
does whatever it was going to do.
