Subject: RE: 1.3.4: rxvt causes tcsh to exit when resized (nt)

(My apologies.  This is the message with line breaks for non-wrapping email
clients and archive readers.)

Cygwin 1.3.4-4 under Windows XP.  rxvt 2.7.2-6, tcsh 6.10.00-3.  Default
shell set to tcsh in /etc/passwd.  rxvt invoked via a batch file calling
"bash --login -i -c rxvt".

Any attempt to resize the rxvt window while at the tcsh prompt will cause
the window to disappear.  Starting bash, running another copy of tcsh and
then attempting to resize reveals that it is causing tcsh to exit gracefully
(the text "exit" is printed as if it had been entered as a command).
Perhaps tcsh is incorrectly interpreting some terminal control code?

The following message board article talks about a problem that sounds
similar.  (Hopefully tcsh isn't so neglected that such problems are ignored
for this long...):
