Ok I'll try to be a little clearer. Recently when I double-click on the Cygwin icon on my Windows 2000 SP3 desktop the Cygwin console will come up then immediately disappear. If I double-click it again it comes up and stays and I can do stuff with it. Like whois which is all I ever do with it.
After the whois I am noticing that the console stops receiving keyboard input. I click the title bar minimize other open windows and it starts to receive keyboard input again. And I can do ctrl-D which is what I want to do after whois. Namely I want to logout. This is the ONLY application I have installed in Windows 2000 that does this. The ONLY one.
If you need any more information other than what I provided that you think might help to trouble-shoot this issue please let me know what you suggest or need? Thanks.
