There is a known issue that if you use rxvt and close it by using the 
close button then the underlying bash shell hangs around. If you use a 
Windows console window and run the shell in it and then close the window 
using the close button then the bash shell is properly notified to 
terminate and does so. If you are careful and always exit your shells 
with "exit" and never use the close button for rxvt windowed shells you 
shouldn't get shell processes hanging around.
