It may be a side effect of
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-06/msg00133.html

with current cygwin 2.0.3 I see bash processes remaining running,
and I need to kill them. It seems race/load dependent.
May be it is happening in your case to the dash process.

With Takeshi's patch I do not see the effect on 32bit;
I have not yet tested on 64bit.

If you are interested to test I can provided a new cygwin1.dll.

Marco
