Kris,
I don't see this behavior on Win2k SP2, bash 2.05b-5...  Try putting the
whole gvim invocation line (including the '&') in parentheses (it'll
force the invocation into a subshell), and see if this helps...

Otherwise, please post the version of Cygwin and bash you have, and which
OS you're running on...
