Explain this (output from actual cmd.exe window):
C:\>
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notitle tty
C:\>set CYGWIN32=notty
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notty
C:\>bash
$ echo $CYGWIN32
notitle tty
$ exit
exit
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notty
Now if I go to ControlPanel->System->Environment and change the
System Variable CYGWIN32 (it is not set as a User variable) to
anything, and then change it back, clicking on Set then Apply
then OK, .. then if I exit the above cmd window and start a
new one then I get:
C:\>
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notitle tty
C:\>set CYGWIN32=notty
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notty
C:\>bash
$ echo $CYGWIN32
notty
$ exit
exit
C:\>echo %CYGWIN32%
notty
Things now work as expected!
It will continue to work correctly until the machine is rebooted.
At that point the problem comes back.
I didn't have the problem until after the first time the machine was
booted after setting CYGWIN32 to "notitle tty".
