'nohup' seems to be broken in Cygwin git master

Easiest way I have to reproduce is using X. In a Cygwin terminal enter:
nohup xlogo &
exit
The terminal window and xlogo are both terminated. With gdb I see that
xlogo terminates with STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT.
On a 32-bit 3.1.4 install, same machine, same (64-bit 3.1.pre5) X server,
the same test case shows the terminal window terminated but xlogo remains.
X is not required to demonstrate this; it's just easiest way to see the
effect. I can dig further if this doesn't immediately pique someone's
interest... :)
