minTTy appears to leave exiv2 "hanging"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install minTTY 1.0 or 1.02 for Cygwin or MSYS;
2.Install exiv2 0.21 for the appropriate "package";
3.Create a command file or text file from which Exiv2 should read either by 
directly executing a command in minTTy or via a shell script.
4.Leave the text editor with which you created the file open, and make sure 
backup file creation is not set. I use Crimson Editor 3.72 most often.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
That after exiv2 has finished executing the command, a backup file that is 
un-delete-able should not still be created. Crimson Editor and EditPad Pro are 
the two GUI editors I've noticed this happening to.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
mintty-1.0.3 msys currently, however I first noticed it with mintty-1.0 cygwin.
msys 1.0.11 -- last Cygwin was 1.7.9.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 currently; minTTy 1.0 and the aforementioned Cygwin 
were used in Windows XP Professional SP3.

Please provide any additional information below.

What I have observed when I notice a backup or temp file created by CE that I 
cannot delete, upon opening Task Manager, is that there is always one instance 
of Exiv2 still running. It may have been hours since I last called on it to 
perform any task; nonetheless, it's still in the list of running processes. 
Neither Console2 nor Terminator (jessies.org) do this, so far as my own 
experience has shown.

Please provide more detailed and definite steps to reproduce, keeping in mind 
that I know nothing about exiv2. Also, I don't see an exiv2 package in the 
Cygwin distribution. Is it a Cygwin/MSYS program or a native Windows program? 
Futhermore, it would be helpful if you could try whether the issue also shows 
up in rxvt.
