Subject: Escape sequence "^[[1m" no longer makes console text bright

I upgraded from Cygwin 1.1.6 to 1.3.1 (under Windows 2000), and I notice
that the console escape sequence generated by "tput bold" is no longer
making text bright.  Here's what I see:

  bash$ echo $TERM
  cygwin
  bash$ echo "hello $(tput bold)foo$(tput sgr0) there"
  hello foo there             <== "foo" is normal; was bright in 1.1.6.
  bash$ tput bold | od -c
  0000000 033   [   1   m
  0000004
  bash$ tput sgr0 | od -c
  0000000 033   [   0   ;   1   0   m
  0000007

I think this may be related to why I see all the highlighted keywords in
man pages in half-bright mode instead of bright mode.  I'm not using a
personal TERMINFO database -- just the one in /usr/share/terminfo.

I could swear that this is the same escape sequence for "bold" that
worked fine under Cygwin 1.1.6.  Could the Cygwin library be
initializing the console differently somehow, so that the console
interprets the "^[[1m" differently now?
