The problem is that everything works fine in cmd.exe.

Polish special characters are produced with right alt and a letter key. Is
Cygwin somehow intercepting such combinations? I suppose so, as right alt +
a gives (arg: 9) on the display (in cmd.exe such a combination results in
'a' with a hook), right alt + l gives (arg: 3), and right alt + u gives ?
(alt + u have no special meaning for me, I was just curious and tried out
all the combinations of right alt with a letter). Other combinations have no
result.
