The main process exits, but does not kill the other processes. It
waits for them to exit, which they should do after a timeout.

There shouldn't really ever be a reason to kill processes. It
indicates a problem with WWWOFFLE. As such I don't plan to add any
killing function into WWWOFFLE to kill the other processes, I would
prefer to try and fix the cause of the problem.

It is not possible to cut the TCP connections.

I would have thought so.

I think that this is the most likely problem.

Have you seen the new cygwin library release from 13/10/2002? It
looks like it has some good improvements for socket functions.
