Originally it was set to rxvt-cygwin-native which caused this error-msg.
I've found on the internet the tip to change the TERM-Variable to "cygwin" or
"xterm"... both solved my problem, but wie all of them I have the problem with
the slow vi. 
"xterm" or "cygwin" doesn't change anything regarding my vi-problem.

Details to my vi-problem:
When I press Enter after "vi /etc/resolv.conf" it needs around 4 seconds to open
the vi-Editor on a multicore-machine... when I connect to the same machine using
putty or ssh in the basic-bash-console instead of the cygwin-ssh-client in a
rxvt-terminal there is no noticeable delay between pressing Enter and appearing
the vi-screen.

Any hints?

Dieter
