Well, I found it 'by accident'. I installed several versions with different
settings for rxvt and I was sure it worked as I first tried out.
As I tried again after a fresh boot, it worked and later after using 
several other applications at the same time like word and explorer it doesn't
work like before, the window disappears immediatly. 

But i never saw this problem with cmd.exe (i use cmd.exe from windows2k on 
win98 because command.com isn't that nice).

There is not a real fix, i reduced the size of the scrollbuffer for rxvt
to 400. Most time i work on another box where i got enough memory.

All in one line:
================
H:\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 90x30 -bg black -fg grey -cr red -sr -sl 1000 
 -fn "Lucida Console-14" -tn rxvt -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i

Try this and if it doesn't work reduce '-sl 1000' to '-sl 500' or 250.
(Adjust the path to rxvt!)

The best fix would be to buy some more ram modules.
