OK, its 9:30 my time and I got to do stuff, but here is what I've found
so for.

There are two hosts gnus connects to, Yahoo and HotMail.

1. Gnus uses the command

`c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -connect
imap.mail.yahoo.com:993"'

which runs for a three or four seconds and exits with 0 as the return
code.  Emacs keeps track of this process.  Gnus seems to wait for this
to finish.

From the gdb log:

warning: register_child registered fd 6 with pid 6360
warning: sys_kill.TerminateProcess returned 5 for pid 6360


2. Gnus uses the command

`c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "gnutls-cli --insecure -p 995 pop3.live.com"'

which runs for fifty seconds and exits with 1 as the return code.  Emacs
loses track of this process.  Gnus does not seem to wait for this to
finish but carries on quickly.

From the gdb log:

warning: register_child registered fd 6 with pid 7020

No terminate process but the process has finished.


I'll try to get back to his latter today.
