Looks like a weird interaction between Cygwin, rxvt and tf. When you press
a key, tf doesn't receive it. Instead, something starts printing what look
like scancodes (lots of Ps, tildes, and ['s) out to the screen ad
infinitum. If you kill tf, the keys you pressed while it was running show
up in the rxvt buffer. (tf 4.0s1, Cygwin 1.3.15-2, rxvt 2.7.2, win2ksp3)
You might try switching to windows console as a workaround.
