According to Christopher Faylor on 9/14/2005 11:01 AM:

I tested 20050914 20:32:51 (the most recent at the time of this email) on
Win98, and was succefully able to use ssh, rebuild CVS coreutils, and
close the console, without seeing any stray processes.  There is still a
problem I reported earlier with strace popping up 3 error boxes when
trying to run 'strace -o strace.txt cvs up' in a directory where cvs uses
an ssh connection to the server, but I can live with that if you were to
release 1.5.19 now.

I also tested on WinXP, and didn't notice any problems in my usage patterns.

Since this is not a bug report, I'm not attaching any cygcheck output.
Thanks for all your efforts in chasing snapshot bug reports - I think cgf
deserves a gold star for putting up with all the incomplete regression
reports, and still fixing regressions anyways (that is, if I have any
right to nominate for a gold star).
