FWIW, I just checked on my system (Windows 2003 Server, sticky-keys
off), and can't reproduce it, even using times far longer than 4
seconds. (I also can't reproduce Igor's claim that Windows will offer
to turn on sticky-keys if I hold down a modifier key too long.)
Have you confirmed that this is only happening with Cygwin, and not with
things like Notepad?
