cywin is based on the Win32 API so uses different 
Windows services.

I have the Rational toolkit installed on my Win 2000
system and it doesn't cause the problem you have 
mentioned on that system.

I have a separate Windows NT system that has an older
version of Lotus notes and it doesn't have problems 
either.

So I suspect it's some other software (any virus 
scanners?)

Path problems?  DLL conflicts?  I've never seen this, but
it definitely sounds like a conflict.  I'd be also 
worried about potential cygwin DLL/command conflicts.

The API used to display the string.  One uses the DOS/DPMI
method, the other uses Win32 calls.
