after browsing the source, I gathered that whenever a new process is spawned(spawn.cc)
the user's hive is loaded and linked to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. but, the user's hive is
never unloaded i.e. whenever the last process running as that user terminates.
so I humbly suggest adding an unload function to the registry like:
void unload_registry_hive (PSID psid){ ... }
then wait until the last process running as that user exits and then unload the hive.
the reason for the request is I have a couple of programs that monitor user
logon/logoffs. they work by monitoring the HKEY_USERS hive and with cygwin-sshd, the
hives never unload even after I kill sshd...
thanks,
micah
