Yup.  I plead ignorance.

diff'ing that against Sarge:

dpchrist AT p42800e:~/mydocuments/cygwin$ diff -w infocmp-cygwin-debian-3.1.out in
focmp-cygwin-debian-sid.out
1c1

Assuming empty lines have no effect, Sarge and Sid use the same terminfo
settings.  I wonder if "top" is different between Sarge and Sid?

     http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

tells me that "top" is in package "base/procps".  My Sarge box has:

    dpchrist AT p166v:~$ apt-cache showpkg procps | head -n 3
    Package: procps
    Versions:

I use DOS line endings.  Perhaps that's the cause of the bug?  Run Cygwin setup,
change line ending mode, test ssh and top -- problem still there.

I filed a bug report.  Thomas Dickey seems to be hot on the trail:

Thanks!
