I'll have to look.  I fear Unix and Plan 9 process control are a bit
of a mystery to me, but I can check the sources, of course.

And I agree with you that it shouldn't destroy the window, but it is
the type of inconvenient behaviour that one can't help noticing.  In
ACME/win it is slightly different, but I think analogous.  Thanks for
putting me on some sort of track.
