XFree86 4.2.0 orphans shell on termination

[Michael Bax]

Hi

When closing XWin, I am experiencing relatively frequent
post-termination orphaning (improper clean-up) of the shell opened
within the xterm by the default startxwin.bat -- perhaps 1 in 3 times.  

I can reproduce this by opening X using startxwin.bat and soon closing
it by clicking the XWin window's close button.  About a third of the
time after XWin has disappeared from the process list, bash remains
until I manually terminate it.  After a number of these orphaned
processes accumulate unterminated, an xterm sometimes does not even
appear after starting XWin.

This occurs with both twm and fvwm2.  There does not seem to be a
consistent pattern -- sometimes this doesn't seem to happen unless I
execute a command (eg xmodmap<ENTER>), but sometimes I don't even need
to bring the focus on the xterm.

This is on a newly-installed vanilla Cygwin and XFree86 package set
downloaded yesterday.  The only modification to startxwin.bat was to
CYGWIN_ROOT.  

OS is Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 3.

Cheers
Michael
