I can confirm this.  It also happens in an xterm, and in the regular
console with CYGWIN=tty.  Looks like a bug in SIGWINCH handler in info.
FWIW, the actual info page doesn't matter -- just typing "info" is enough.
Since I snipped the cygcheck output, "info --version" shows "info (GNU
texinfo) 4.8".

Strace doesn't show anything useful (IMO), but I could attach the tail end
of it (after the SIGWINCH) if anyone's interested.

Since this is not an X-specific issue, I'm redirecting this to the main
Cygwin list.  Please send replies ther.

Hmm, you may want to take this up with cygwin-xfree-owner.
