Observations when I ssh to a Windows 10 1909 machine running cygwin
3.1.4/OpenSSH 8.2...

I ran ssh-host-config and tested both with disable_pcon set in CYGWIN
environment variable and without. (This sets REG_SZ value
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cygsshd\Parameters\Environment\CYGWIN=disable_pcon)

With disable_pcon set:

echo "$PATH"     -- wraps correctly
cmd /c echo %PATH%     -- wraps correctly
winpty cmd /c echo %PATH%     -- wrapping broken

Without disable_pcon set:

echo "$PATH"     -- wraps correctly
cmd /c echo %PATH%  -- wrapping broken
winpty cmd /c echo %PATH%     -- wrapping broken

I would note that in both cases, winpty output is not correct.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Bill
