it might make sense for our /usr/bin/allmydata-tahoe tool to offer a 'run' command instead of start/stop, since the cygwin form doesn't fork().

I've confirmed that the cygwin form does indeed fork. I'm still seeing some test problems, but I think in general cygwin should behave posixly-enough to use 'tahoe start' as usual.
The native windows form probably can't, though.

Actually there *are* two long-running python.exe processes launched by running allmydata-tahoe... I haven't investigated further yet.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
In fact, it doesn't seem to launch a separate process at all on Windows or Cygwin -- it just keeps running and sending logging to stdout.
This is a ticket general to Twisted. It would probably make sense to submit a bug report at http://twistedmatrix.com . It might be fun for Allmydata, Inc. to fund a bug bounty program for tickets like these which are important to us but which lie outside of our code base proper.
