I've often been annoyed by shell scripts which fail for particular
reasons, at which point it causes my Emacs shell buffer to get killed,
with "Process shell<2> finished".

I think it's possible to code the scripts to use "trap", which might avoid
this problem, but sometimes (most times, really) I can't change the script.
Is there some way to configure Bash/Cygwin, perhaps in the .emacs_bash
script to mitigate this, without significant tradeoffs?
