Yup. I plead ignorance.

diff'ing that against Sarge:
dpchrist AT p42800e:~/mydocuments/cygwin$ diff -w infocmp-cygwin-debian-3.1.out in
focmp-cygwin-debian-sid.out

Assuming empty lines have no effect, Sarge and Sid use the same terminfo
settings. I wonder if "top" is different between Sarge and Sid?
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents
tells me that "top" is in package "base/procps". My Sarge box has:
dpchrist AT p166v:~$ apt-cache showpkg procps | head -n 3
Package: procps

I use DOS line endings. Perhaps that's the cause of the bug? Run Cygwin setup,
change line ending mode, test ssh and top -- problem still there.

I filed a bug report. Thomas Dickey seems to be hot on the trail:

Thanks!
