Hm, there's something fishy there.  I have 'tty' set as well with
no side affects.  However, trying to set 'tty' in your profile should
be a no-op.  This value is only referenced at load time for cygwin1.dll
(see <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>) so setting
the value in /etc/profile should have no affect whatsoever.  As an aside,
'ntsec' is now on by default for recent releases of cygwin1.dll.  You
should be able to remove this line entirely from your /etc/profile.
You should try setting the CYGWIN environment variable to include 'tty'
*before* cygwin1.dll loads (for example, set it in 'cygwin.bat').
It would be interesting to hear whether this works for you as well (it
should).
