Not sure about this specifically or how cygwin handles it, but ssh
normally won't drop a connection until all the file descriptors
(stdin/stdout/stderr) using it have been closed.  Maybe you are
starting some process that stays running in the background but doesn't
close its inherited files - and if you can tell what it is, you can
redirect to /dev/null - and maybe use ssh -n to keep the input side
closed in the first place.
