Seems cygstart runs the application ok even without modifying the CYGWIN variable. This holds true for two other applications I was having trouble with. I had been using the native M$ telnet and ftp before I set CYGWIN=tty for sshd. These two display bizarre behavior with tty set. Telnet just quits and returns to a command prompt and ftp doesn't echo typing. I got around this by installing the cygwin versions. Cygstart runs them ok as well without unsetting or changing CYGWIN.
