I did some additional research. It seems that Windows in fact does send
CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT to a running service when the user is logging off.

I am now reasonably sure that this is a bug in cygserver. The bug causes
logoff event to be handled inappropriately. I am guessing
SetConsoleCtrlHandler.

The bug seems specific to x64. The problem only appears when a local
user logs off, and not when remote desktop user logs off.

I am really frustrated with logging off/shutdown taking up to 6 minutes.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of Cygwin internals is extremely limited. If
somebody could get me a good starting point, I am willing to look into it.
