that's by design if u want to kill an entire tree u can do so with process explorer a free download from www.sysinternals.com.
I also would like to know if it is possible.
However, it could be that it has nothing to do with Cygwin. I have a Perl script which forks several children and monitors their output.
If a child fails, then it has no use to run all forked processes further and I kill them with the perl 'kill' command. However, I also notice that deeper forked processes (grandchildren) refuse to die. This script is only run using ActiveState Perl.
I think it is really a serious Windows problem, because using the task manager it also seems not really possible to kill a complete process hierarchy.
