When you set up the service, was this bit of code on that page?

#-----8<----
#Ignore signal on user logout
# -- thanks to Matthieu Brucher
import win32api

def sighandler(sig):
    print "received signal %s" % (sig,)
    return True

win32api.SetConsoleCtrlHandler(sighandler, True)
#-----8<----

It looks like that should handle things.

Ping me next week and I'll check and see what I had to do to get my
Win32 buildslave working (although I don't remember following those
instructions myself - maybe one of the other Windows experts at work
helped me set up the service?)

Then again, does it only kill the build if you log out while a build
is active? I think I usually just log out before the build starts.
(It's a VM and the build needs all the memory it can get.)
