At the end of this message is a short program. It is linked as a windows-mode
 executable so when it is launched it does not have a console. It then
allocates one and uses it. The expected behaviour is that when I run it a
fresh DOS-style console appears and I can type a few chars in and they get
echoed.

This happens happily. EXCEPT that if before typing in 5 chars I close the
console either via its file/close menu or by clicking the little "x" at the
right of its title bar and IF I launched the program from cygwin using
execv/execve (as the cygwin bash shell does) the application console winow
closess but the program is instantly relauched.

Sounds a bit like "proc_retry" to me.  See:
