The remaining bug won't cause Cygwin Emacs to close unexpectedly.
What it'll do, is cause Cygwin Emacs to lose track of
its child processes -- it'll think they've finished,
when they haven't, or vice versa.  And it can cause
Cygwin Emacs to kill innocent-bystander processes.
These problems are rare, but I expect they can occur
under Cygwin, just as they used to occur under
POSIXish sytems before we redid child process handling.
