It should not matter:
The function _exit terminates the calling process
"immediately". Any open file descriptors belonging to the
process are closed; any children of the process are inherited
by process 1, init, and the process's parent is sent a SIGCHLD
signal.

Yes, because (if this is really necessary) then it's a workaround for
a platform bug and so not obvious.
After thinking about it a bit more I'm somewhat inclined to call it a
bug in Cygwin and try to get them to fix it.

"cvs log" or http://cvs.samba.org/ will show you all the tags and
branches. But at the moment there is only really one branch.
