It has console buffer allocated and console handles opened.
You are not understanding the problem. If in b18 bash you execute a job
in the background, say for example "wish80 &", and exited the bash
session then the TK window remained open and the console window died.
If you do the same thing under b19, the bash process dies but the
console window doesn't. You can't do anything with it except to iconize
it and wait until your done with TK. When you exit TK then the dead
window will disappear.
