I get the above error when running bash on a telnet session on Win2K. That's a pity because the cmd shell is even more annoying than usual in this case.

The only information I found about that is quite old:

in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00866.html (Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:02:57 +0100 ) Corinna Vinschen  says:

is there a solution by now?
