http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE - so that others can find this
information.  I'm just sending this to cygwin, instead of bug-bash, since
this has been discussed before in the bug-bash archives but is new to
cygwin due to the recent bash upgrade to 3.1.

This is expected behavior.  By default, terminals use Ctrl-V as the
quoting character (see 'stty -a' and 'stty --help').  Readline 5.1 (and
thus bash 3.1) added a new feature, bind-tty-special-characters, defaulted
to on, which overrides key bindings in ~/.inputrc with those specified by
the terminal.  The solution, then, is to either turn this readline feature
off (add "set bind-tty-special-characters off" to ~/.inputrc), or to tell
your terminal to not bind Ctrl-V (add "stty lnext undef" to your
~/.bash_profile).  If you like emacs bindings, where Ctrl-Q is the quoting
character instead of Ctrl-V, you could do "stty lnext ^Q stop undef" instead.
