Your OS is uptodate and this indicates that it's Cygwin related.

This is what I noticed:
Your TERM should be 'cygwin' unless you're using rxvt, but it's 
'xterm'.

You should update your Cygwin installation - at least Cygwin itself 
and bash. Best is to update everything.

Mine is "binmode codepage:oem glob:ignorecase ntea ntsec smbntsec title tty".
Try this or try at least adding tty.
