My cygwin 32-bit install has not been updated for a while. When I do
ALT234 with numeric pad keys and numlock on, from bash directly
running under cmd.exe, I get :\251 at first (colon backslash 251) and
then when I hit enter for the command, I get a beep.
If I do the ALT234 with numeric pad and numlock in CMD.exe I do get
what looks like a capital omega. So a months old bash does not respond
well to this ALT numpad stuff.

My information supports the judgement that weird behavior in this area
was introduced a while ago.

For comparison only, If I do ALT234 with mintty running bash, I get
neither the :\251 nor capital omega, I get lower case e with
circumflex.
