Hello,

I've been using cygwin for years with no problems.  I just updated 
cygwin again and I suddenly can't get into the terminal. When I click 
the cygwin icon, the window just flashes and immediately closes.

What's interesting is that I have a number of cygwin/mintty shortcuts 
for SSH servers as `c:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/ssh 
user AT server DOT com`, which work just fine. I can also get in if I run 
`cygwin.bat` in `cmd`, `console2` or any other Windows command terminal.

I've tried running the latest cygwin setup, reinstalling `mintty`, and 
the shortcut still fails. The shortcut is just the default target: 
`C:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash --login -i`

I don't know what else to try.  What happened here and how do I fix this?

Thanks
  - Brent
