hmm (I'm stuck here, since I don't have that configuration).  On closing,
vile does stuff like this (which hasn't changed for quite a while):

    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsoleOutput, originalAttribute);
    if (hOldConsoleOutput) {
        TRACE(("...restoring screen buffer\n"));
        SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer(hOldConsoleOutput);
        CloseHandle(hConsoleOutput);
    }
    SetConsoleCtrlHandler(nthandler, FALSE);
    SetConsoleMode(hConsoleInput, ENABLE_LINE_INPUT | ENABLE_ECHO_INPUT | 
ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT);
