Processes forking on their own?


Some of my shell scripts on Windows 2000 Server (NTFS partition) seem to be forking their commands.
This has the effect of everything in a script trying to run at once, which royally screws up dependencies.  This seems to only happen sometimes.  All in all, general system behavior is bad.  

Worse yet and perhaps unrelated: when starting a process which forks itself, when the controlling window closes, that process dies too (pg_ctl start).  I can't seem to keep my database up unless i avoid using pg_ctl.

This seems to only be a problem on this particular Windows 2000 Server computer with NTFS partitions.  Everywhere else in the company we use W2K Pro / FAT, and I've never seen such weirdness.

Has anyone else noticed behavior like this?  I am using the latest Cygwin.
