The script I use displays string from an IMAP server. The best solution would be splitting every string in pieces of at most 127 chars. This is a workaround, but the bug is still there and can show up on other applications.
I confirmed the bug on two different versions of Windows XP (Home and Professional Editions) at my home and my workplace. I've just checked also on a Windows Vista notebook and the bug didn't happen. I never developed for Cygwin, but I'm willing to see if I can do and debug this. Unless someone confirms that this is not a Cygwin-related bug... Eduardo R. D'Avila 2010/1/4 Mark J.
