Well, there's no real interaction. When you logoff, the service
application (which is cygrunsrv, not cygserver or sshd) gets a
console event CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT. The Cygwin DLL has a handler function
(exceptions.cc:ctrl_c_handler) which doesn't do much on CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT.
For testing I disabled everything and I even added a ConsoleCtrlHandler
function to cygrunsrv which returns TRUE. The function is called and
that's it. After that, the system hangs out for ~30 seconds for no
apparent reason.
Still note that this only happens on the 5.2 x64 kernel, not on the 6.0
x64 kernel, so I don't see how this is actually Cygwin's fault or if
we can do anything against that effect.
