See if this helps: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00261.html

I know the referenced message is rxvt + bash specific, but it should
give you some things to look for in putty + ssh + bash.

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00209.html seems less relevant.

A search of the archives for zombie bash or zombie ssh gives tons of pointers.

Basically, don't hit the X, type in 'exit'.
