A related issue is that when you close any of the pty-based terminals with mc started from bash running in it, the mc process doesn't get killed. Bash does of course forward the SIGHUP it gets from the terminal to its child processes, and manually sending SIGHUP to the orphaned mc does get rid of it. A similar issue was previously reported against the joe and mined editors at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg01013.html. This still needs a simple test case though.
