Disable tty support before running bash. Bash (as first cygwin application
runned in the console) creates controlling tty for the console, wish
inherits it and forces tty master threads of bash to run even after bash's
"exit". B18 didn't has tty support.
BTW, sorry me for my wrong previous info - cygwish80.exe is a windows, but
not console application.
