That's interesting. It only occurs when running bash as shell.
Tcsh just does business as usual after `stty sane'.
If you call `stty -a' after calling `stty sane', you see what
happened:
$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
[...]
stty has set erase to ^H. Is that perhaps because terminfo still
specifies ^H as erase for the "cygwin" terminal type?

And what would that tell us?
