|AFAICT, ProtocolKeepAlives is not mentioned in the manpage for ssh.
|So, this isn't a bug.

Indeed, it seems that it is not mentioned in the Cygwin ssh_config manpage.

However, that option should be supported according to the following 
Corinna Vinschen mail:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00323.html

Btw, the ProtocolKeepAlives is a must for using ssh for port forwarding
behind a firewall that drops inactive connections.

float
