I ran 20050923 on my Win98 box most of the weekend. The original report of failures to close the console after using ssh still remain fixed; I was no longer getting popup boxes and was able to close the console. However, when running process-intensive tasks (such as building coreutils CVS), I got quite a few blue screens of death, which is new (and worse than a popup box). I haven't had a chance to try the 20050925 snapshot to see if it improves matters. I haven't downloaded the snapshot cygwin-inst recently, so I'm not sure if the recent strace improvements help, but at least with 20050923, 'strace -o strace.out cvs up' didn't raise a popup box. I'll continue investigations with more recent snapshots as time permits. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
