In my case, two observations:

- bash displays "logout" that it normally does when it gets EOF. So, it
_looks_ like bash is getting EOF. It does not crash (well, in usual sense :-)

- I've never seen this in 1.1.4 or below and bash is unchanged since then. So,
it _looks_ like some change in Cygwin.

I admit, it may be, that some post-1.1.4 change triggers obscure bug in bash.
