Are you saying that when you click close on a shell window and Windows 
sends an event (WM_CLOSE I think) Cygwin does catch this but when you do 
shutdown of Windows then Windows does not send some event to all 
processes informing them to shutdown? Or are you saying that when you do 
shutdown of Windows then Windows does send some event to all processes 
informing them to shutdown but Cygwin for some reason cannot catch this 
one? Why would Cygwin be able to catch the WM_CLOSE but not the WM_SHUTDOWN?
