Hi Folks,

I'm not a daily user, but all of this worked a few months ago. I haven't made
any changes to any of my dotfiles in that time.  However, I just updated all of
Cygwin this weekend and now things aren't so smooth.

I enclose an brief annotated rxvt session. Can anyone replicate or decipher
this.  Are these Cygwin bugs or are they local to my 2-3 dotfiles.

Thanks,
Andrew
