Thanks for looking into that.  I'm not sure either why this doesn't
occur all the time, but the culprit seems to be this snippet in
ed.term.h:

  #ifndef CMIN
  # define CMIN          CEOF
  #endif /* CMIN */

The default value for CEOF is '\4'.  And no header on Cygwin defines
CMIN, so this looks like two bugs in one (buy one, get one free).

Per `git blame' this code in tcsh is from 1991, so maybe we have two
20th century bugs here.

I'll ask the tcsh maintainer and add a definition for CMIN to 1 (as on
Linux) to the headers for the next Cygwin version.


Thanks,
Corinna
