several people have responded that the CYGWIN environment variable
should be set in the cygwin.bat file, but for whatever reason, I put
it in the shell resource file and that fixed the problems i was having
at the time... Its curious that it works in either place and even more
curious that placing it after cygwin starts causes programs like rxvt
to core dump.
