Yes, after trying (and failing to reproduce the problem here on other
PCs), it occurred to me it might be the KVM switch.  If I use the
laptop keyboard, there is no such problem.

It hadn't occurred to me to try a non-Cygwin program like notepad (a
great suggestion, Brooks), and of course the same problem occurs there.

Thanks!
