Hi, developers

Few days ago, I upgraded cygwin from 1.5.5 to 1.5.9
and I found strange behavior of rsh.

The problem is that rsh want to handle argument of executing command.
For example, 

  $ rsh host ls -a
  rsh: unknown option -- a
  Try `rsh --help' for more information.
  $ rsh host "ls -a"
  ...
  $

I tried testing with two version of rsh contained in interutils 1.3.25
and 1.3.28.  1.3.25 doesn't have this problem, but 1.3.28 has.
