Cygwin 1.5.25, I presume.  Cygwin 1.5.25 is not supported under W7.  Use
Cygwin 1.7 instead.  It contains workarounds for a few really incredible
bugs introduced in Windows 7 in terms of console windows.  I reported two 
of them in the beta testing phase.  One of them has been only partially
fixed (and introduced a new one in the W7 32 bit), the other one hasn't
been fixed at all in RTM.
