This is a known issue, as it states in the readme.  Check out
/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README for information on this and how to
compile.  The maintainer is working on getting a new release out, but
he hasn't specified an ETA.  You will probably want to read the rxvt
manual page, as there is an option which disables automatic jump to
bottom on output.

Cheers,
Nicholas
