Sten,
This is caused by a bug in bash that has been fixed by the latest official
patches (which have yet to be applied to the cygwin bash executable). In
the meantime, remap the Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right sequences in your
.inputrc to something harmless (e.g., "tty-status"), or, if you're more
ambitious, apply the patches and recompile bash.
