Process remains (mc) after windows is closed #224

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using mintty with cygwin, if I start mc in bash and close mintty window, bash 
process terminates but mc is left running.
This does not happen with standard console but does with rxvt.

I actually see the bash process rather than mc being left behind. This is with 
Cygwin 1.7.7 on Win7 x64. It happens with xterm and rxvt-unicode too. 

That points to a general Cygwin issue. When closing, the terminals all just 
send SIGHUP to bash, which then forwards it on to its child processes.
