[GNC] A bug or not ? - Windows shuts down with no warning of GnuCash running.

[Adrien Monteleone]

It *might* be a GnuCash bug, but of course, others would need to confirm 
this behavior.

That seems more like a facility of Windows than something for which 
GnuCash is responsible.

And as noted, fixing it only applies to clean OS shutdowns/reboots. 
Nothing catches the case of a power outage, cord yank, or cold shutdown 
via the power button.

Adrien
