I have created and installed my own test service. For this purpose, I've
used Java Service Wrapper, which is from OS perspective just a pure
32-bit console program like cygrunsrv. And it works flawlessly, there's
no delay at logoff :-/

It only has this one problem: there's no source for the DLL it uses.

Could it be something we're missing? Perhaps not in the
ConsoleCtrlHandler itself?
