Bash exits after background command exits (B20)

For some reason bash is getting a EOF after a background command exits.
To keep bash open IGNOREEOF can be set to 1. This prints "Use "exit" to
leave the shell." after every background command exits. Annoying.
Also, Control-C seems to still kill background tasks. Setting
CYGWIN=tty does not seem to help. Finally, bash doesn't exit if there
are background tasks running. Help!
