After latest cygwin upgrade (5 weeks or so) I have started getting this
weird error from Emacs. Does anyone know what can I do? The
terminfo settings seesm to be in proper places:

    //root AT W2KPICASSO /usr/lib/terminfo $ infocmp emacs
    #       Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/e/emacs
    emacs, 
        am, gn, 
        cols#80, 
        bel=^G, cr=^M, cud1=^J, ind=^J, kbs=^H, kcub1=^H, kcud1=^J, 

Now If I start this in plain vanilla Emacs (20.7 and 21.1):
with M-x bash:

    (defun my-bash ()
      "Runs the Cygwin bash shell"
      (interactive)
      (require 'comint)
      (require 'shell)
      (if (comint-check-proc "*bash*")
          (pop-to-buffer "*bash*")
        (let* ((shell-file-name "bash")
               (explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
               (explicit-sh-args '("-login" "-i"))
               (w32-quote-process-args ?\"));; Use Cygnus quoting rules.
          (shell)
          (make-local-variable 'comint-completion-addsuffix)
          (setq comint-completion-addsuffix '("/" . ""))
          (rename-buffer (generate-new-buffer-name "*bash*")))))

The shell buffer prints bizarre output every time:

    readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings//root AT W2KPICASSO ~/elisp/rc $ readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings//root AT W2KPICASSO ~/elisp/rc $ echo $TERM
    emacs
    readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings//root AT W2KPICASSO ~/elisp/rc $ readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings//root AT W2KPICASSO ~/elisp/rc $ 

Any suggestions? This is irrating and makes shell unusable.
