Subject: Process handle not closed when child process terminated

If you launch a Cygwin program, such as bash that launches new processes,
and then they terminate, the original process (e.g. bash) still holds an
open handle for the terminated process. This handle never gets closed. Is
this a minor bug or intentional behaviour?
