Subject: Function keys fail sporatically in VIM

I've been having function key problems with vim 5.5 (also 5.3) on cygwin.  I
have F2 mapped to <Esc>:w<CR> for insert mode:
   :map!
   ...
   !  <F2>         <Esc>:w<CR>
   !  <S-xF2>      <S-F2>
   !  <xF2>        <F2>
   ...

Frequently, when I press F2 in insert mode, I get the 4-character string
"<F2>" (without the quotes) inserted into my text.  If I hold down F2, then
I get several copies inserted in my text, but eventually, something kicks in
and F2 starts saving my file as expected, instead of inserting text.  At
other times, I don't get this problem at all and F2 just saves my file. 

I'm using TERM=linux.  I've tried all sorts of combinations of
timeout/ttimeout/timeoutlen/ttimeoutlen, but nothing seems to help.
Currently I have:
   timeout
   timeoutlen=300
   ttimeout
   ttimeoutlen=3000

Can anybody help me fix this?  I also sent this to the VIM mailing list
yesterday, but haven't gotten any help yet -- I think this is must be
directly related to cygwin somehow.  I'm using Michael Hirmke's vim port
from the franken archives.

Thanks,
John Wiersba
