Originally it was set to rxvt-cygwin-native which caused this error-msg. I've found on the internet the tip to change the TERM-Variable to "cygwin" or "xterm"... both solved my problem, but wie all of them I have the problem with the slow vi. "xterm" or "cygwin" doesn't change anything regarding my vi-problem. Details to my vi-problem: When I press Enter after "vi /etc/resolv.conf" it needs around 4 seconds to open the vi-Editor on a multicore-machine... when I connect to the same machine using putty or ssh in the basic-bash-console instead of the cygwin-ssh-client in a rxvt-terminal there is no noticeable delay between pressing Enter and appearing the vi-screen. Any hints?
