You have to be careful here, EVERY shell that exits will execute .bash_logout.
You have to write the pid of the shell that started the session to a file and
test the contents of that file (or the existance of the file of you make the
name a function of the PID) on exit so only the shell that started the the
session will kill it on exit. I know it is common sense but it is worth
mentioning.
