You're asking the Cygwin list for help.  The whole point of Cygwin is to
avoid using the windows api.

However, to answer your specific question, possibly all you need is a
FreeConsole() in there somewhere.

If that doesn't help then please find a windows forum for your question
since it is off-topic here.
