no - that's the _release_ (it has a vile.exe and winvile.exe), which
is more than 2 years old.

I have an installer for _current_ winvile also on the page.

However, your report sounded like you were closing cmd.exe and then
attempting to exit from vile.exe - very different from running winvile.exe

vile.exe does open some console-window resources to run, and I'm guessing
that cmd.exe is clobbering some part of that before you try to tell vile.exe
to exit.  (In that case, you still should be able to hit it with the task
manager).
