Corinna:

Thanks for your suggestion. Sorry I didn't upgrade
before reporting this problem. I still see the same
problem with 1.3.22.

Here's a console log:

From the parent's perspective: (parent program name is
"pglm" parent's pid=1940, child's program name is
"pglm", child's pid=1624)

getpgid of child pid:1624 returned pid:1940


==============================================
A ps command from another Cygwin shell shows:

gavin AT reptilicus /cygdrive/c/cadzilla/pglm
$ ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID   
STIME COMMAND
     1232       1    1232       1232  con 1003

     1964       1    1964       1964  con 1003
11:57:54 /usr/bin/bash
     1940    1232    1940        948  con 1003

     1624    1940    1940       1624  con 1003
12:03:35 /cygdrive/c/cadzilla/pgl
m/pglm
     1724    1964    1724        732  con 1003
12:03:52 /usr/bin/ps

gavin AT reptilicus /cygdrive/c/cadzilla/pglm
$ kill -9 1624

gavin AT reptilicus /cygdrive/c/cadzilla/pglm
$ ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID   
STIME COMMAND
     1232       1    1232       1232  con 1003
11:56:48 /usr/bin/bash
     1964       1    1964       1964  con 1003
11:57:54 /usr/bin/bash
     1940    1232    1940        948  con 1003
12:03:35 /cygdrive/c/cadzilla/pgl
m/pglm
     2092    1964    2092       1504  con 1003
12:04:32 /usr/bin/ps
===================================================

After the kill -9 1624 is issued, the running parent
process continues to output:

getpgid of child pid:1624 returned pid:1940

after calls to getpgid with a pid of 1624.

Could you test with 1.3.22 please?
