I've run python without seeing such problems.
Outgoing scp completes the transfer but requires follow-up by ctrl-C or 
it will require closing the shell.  Incoming scp doesn't exhibit this 
problem.

Delays in returning to shell prompt after running a .exe built under 
cygwin (thus requiring several cygwin dlls) seemed to be caused partly 
by  spyware and anti-spyware activity.  Win8.x seems to be spyware 
playground (some of that came pre-installed by Acer).
