Here's a little more information.  While on a Linux system, I opened
an xterm window, ssh'd to a system running Cygwin 1.5 on Windows XP,
executed "stty onlret", started vim and executed ":!stty" with the
result that the stair-stepping is still there.

    :!stty
    speed 38400 baud; line = 0;
                               -imaxbel
                                       onlret

That would suggest that the problem is with vim on Cygwin and not
with rxvt.  Vim on Linux doesn't do this.

Regards,
Gary
