You seem to be expecting that the people whom you'd like to debug your
problem would know what "plink" is.  I can't speak for Corinna but,
sadly, I don't.

If you can't duplicate this problem with "off-the-shelf" components then
I'm afraid I'm going to have to say "It's a plink problem".  We
sometimes have to make tradeoffs to achieve some benefits and maybe the
fact that plink (whatever that is) screws up stdout in a cygwin is one
of the tradeoffs.
