I ran 20050923 on my Win98 box most of the weekend.  The original report
of failures to close the console after using ssh still remain fixed; I was
no longer getting popup boxes and was able to close the console.  However,
when running process-intensive tasks (such as building coreutils CVS), I
got quite a few blue screens of death, which is new (and worse than a
popup box).  I haven't had a chance to try the 20050925 snapshot to see if
it improves matters.  I haven't downloaded the snapshot cygwin-inst
recently, so I'm not sure if the recent strace improvements help, but at
least with 20050923, 'strace -o strace.out cvs up' didn't raise a popup
box.  I'll continue investigations with more recent snapshots as time permits.
