I have tried ssh using both interactive and command line mode, and I get the
same results. That is - sorry for being pedantic about this - I had invoked
ssh first with the command line option, and it worked. I invoked ssh again
with the command line again, but it hung this time. Then I just invoked ssh
on its own, and entered the commands one at a time, and it hung again.
Then I ran cygwin directly on the remote server (thinking that it's the VB
script causing the problem), so I entered cmd /c update.kcu (without any
ssh) and it worked just fine.
I checked the CYGWIN setting and it is set to CYGWIN=ntsec tty
