Ah.  Try setting it to just "rxvt".  It's very likely that the Solaris
terminfo database has no idea what "rxvt-cygwin-native" is, but it
should know rxvt.  Or it could be that this application is using the
legacy termcap database instead of terminfo, and there's no termcap file
for rxvt-cygwin-native.

For convenience you can set this when you invoke rxvt with "-tn rxvt".

The reason it works in a subshell of emacs is that emacs is probably
setting TERM to something different, since it is providing the
pseudoterminal.
