Hi,
I just installed cygwin and I just installed oracle 10g on my Windows
XP computer. If I run sqlplus to connect to oracle 10G through a
tns connection then when I want to exit I have to type "quit<enter>" 6
times in a row and then it will exit sqlplus. Oddly if I run sqlplus
and do not go through the listener I can exit sqlplus with one
"quit<enter>" statement as should happen. I cannot reproduce this
in the DOS shell. Well actually if I open a DOS "cmd" shell and then
execute bash from within DOS and then connect to oracle 10g via
sqlplus through the tns listener it will also take 6 "quits" to exit
sqlplus. Oh and if I start an rxvt bash shell, then type "cmd" to
enter a DOS shell then go into sqlplus via the listener I can exit
with just one quit. Bash/ash/pdksh/zsh all take 6 "quits" or
"exits" to get out of sqlplus. On my older computer I had Oracle 9i
and an older version of Cygwin and did not have this problem. I
don't know if this is a cygwin or oracle issue. Any ideas?

Again, this only happens if I connect via the TNS Listener meaning
that I'm using the "@XE" at the end of the connect string.
Here's a sample (in DOS this only takes one "quit" to exit sqlplus):
