I've noticed the same thing.  It is annoying because I *want* that scroll bar.

I have noticed two other things when using vim:

1)  You *have* to set your TERM environment variable to "linux".

2)  I have removed the following entries from the linux setting in
    /etc/termcap:

	&7, @7, and cs

    Probably only cs was necessary.

Now that I think of it, I wonder if any of this is necessary with Sergey's
new super-cygwin.dll.
