Hi,
Lately rxvt does not exit properly. I think this a differen from the ghost
bash process that has been reported. The behavior is similar
for 20050409-2 and 20050409-3. Frequently (not always) when a
rxtv window is closed with the exit command, the program hangs
and never ends. In order to see  what happens I will open 2
rxvt-bash windows:

 $ ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      508       1     508        508    ?   18 08:50:28 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
     1556     508    1556       1636    ?   18 08:50:28 /usr/sbin/sshd
     9504       1    9504       9504  con 1007 10:45:26 /usr/bin/rxvt
I   10024    9504   10024      10856    0 1007 10:45:26 /usr/bin/bash
    11196       1   11196      11196  con 1007 10:45:29 /usr/bin/rxvt
    11272   11196   11272      10604    1 1007 10:45:29 /usr/bin/bash
    10400   11272   10400       9636    1 1007 10:45:37 /usr/bin/ps

In TTY 0 I write exit:

$ exit
logout

Never exits
In TTY1:
$ ps -a
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      508       1     508        508    ?   18 08:50:28 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
     1556     508    1556       1636    ?   18 08:50:28 /usr/sbin/sshd
     9504       1    9504       9504  con 1007 10:45:26 /usr/bin/rxvt
    11196       1   11196      11196  con 1007 10:45:29 /usr/bin/rxvt
    11272   11196   11272      10604    1 1007 10:45:29 /usr/bin/bash
    11272   11656      11920    1 1007 10:49:01 /usr/bin/ps

As you can see the bash process 10024 has ended but the rxvt process 9504
is still there. But

$ kill -9 9504
bash: kill: (9504) - No such process

and

$ ps -W |grep 9504
     9504       1    9504       9504  con 1007 10:45:26 /usr/bin/rxvt

In order to finish the program one has to use the X button of the
windows window, or the windows task manager.

Similar behavior happens with other shells: tcsh, ksh, ash, zsh.

If instead of using "exit" one sends "kill -9" to the bash
process, the behavior is similar. If one sends "kill -9" to the
rxvt process the window desappears.

The output of cygcheck is attached.
