Well, now that you've got me to thinking about it, tcsh on AIX will do 
what you are saying also.  I can start a background job, exit and the 
background job still lives.

On NT using cygwinb18:
bash$ wish42 &
bash$ exit

This will leave wish running and remove the console window.

On NT using cygwinb19:
bash$ wish42 &
bash$ exit

This will leave wish running, will exit bash, but will leave the console 
window up.  This is true with or without job control.  This is true even 
with the disown of the job.
