By the way, a similar problem was reported with the old run.exe in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00111.html, and the solution
there was to set CYGWIN=tty. But that was a different situation,
because the OP was starting in the cygwin console. I've tried setting
CYGWIN=tty (using My Computer), and this doesn't make any difference.
