Killing putty with Alt-F4 is the same as losing connectivity, or putty
crashing (rare as that is), or any of several other scenarios where
there is abnormal termination.  Does bash remain running under any
abnormal termination?  If so, that's a bug.  If not, what makes things
like connectivity loss different from closing putty with Alt-f4?
