So this is a know issue? Seems like non-standard behavior for a Windows app.
All Windows apps that I know of catch the shutdown interrupt, clean up their
data structures and exit gracefully.  Is there some reason why Cygwin can't
do this?

I'm happy to end bash with an "exit" or ctrl-D to allow it to keep its
records in order.  When "Windows cannot end..." you have the choice of
killing it or winding it up properly.

Subject: How to diagnose Cygwin / Windows shutdown problem

When I start Cygwin 1.3.22-1 and then try to shut down Windows XP using the
normal Start / Turn Off Computer procedure, Windows pops up the "End
Program - Cygwin ... Windows cannot end this program" dialog box.  The
cygwin ps command shows only a bash shell running.

I tried using Start / Run / msconfig to disable the startup of all
applications and rebooting, but the problem persists.  I'm guessing that the
next step would be to uninstall and reinstall Cygwin.  Any suggestions?
