So this is a know issue? Seems like non-standard behavior for a Windows app. All Windows apps that I know of catch the shutdown interrupt, clean up their data structures and exit gracefully. Is there some reason why Cygwin can't do this?

Windows cannot end this program" dialog box. The cygwin ps command shows only a bash shell running. I tried using Start / Run / msconfig to disable the startup of all applications and rebooting, but the problem persists. I'm guessing that the next step would be to uninstall and reinstall Cygwin. Any suggestions?
