I see it in:
bash-3.2$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 75; columns 160; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; 
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = ^Z; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = 
^R; werase = ^W;
lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

isig icanon iexten echo -echoe -echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop -echoctl

Nothing really changes if I do "stty erase 0x07" or "stty erase ^?"

Hm, I don't have one.

Don't see any difference between if I run cmd.exe, far.exe or cygwin 
console directly from the c:/cygwin/ and then run bash.

Any other ideas? :(

Thanks,
