Thanks for reporting.  I don't have any immediate insight into what's causing
this, or any time right now to try to reproduce or debug it.  I'll look at it as
soon as I can.

I've recently observed similar behavior in screen, so I suspect that it could be
a cygwin problem.  But I'll need some time to run that down.

Andrew
