$TERM is fine, but I found that forcing an eval `resize` on the remote
side gets things to work.  I'm still confused about why this is neccessary
for cygwin (I tried the latest snapshot as Brian suggested to no avail).
Also the difference between telnet and rlogin behavior seems unexpected
to me.  In any case, I'm happy as a clam now ... thanks for the help :)
