orphaned child processes with rxvt

I was looking into this last night.  The rxvt source doesn't seem
to do any process management on exit, which says to me that 
the authors expect the child process to die when the parent
dies. 

So the question is, why are rxvt spawned processes under cygwin
detached from their parents, whereas on other systems they aren't.
Any ideas?
