I'm running under Win2k SP3, cygwin.dll version 1.3.22-1, CYGWIN="ntea tty ntsec" (the partition is NTFS), and a bunch of packages all of whatever the latest stable version is according to setup.exe. I use plain old bash as my shell, no rxvt or X Windows or anything.
Man, why do I always think of stuff AFTER posting?
Anyway, I just remembered that I had tty set in the CYGWIN variable. Tried it without tty, and the problem's gone, at least in all the cases
I could think of where it was happening.
Problem is, not setting tty breaks some stuff. For example, pico (^C doesn't work.) I'm sure there are other curses things that don't work right either.
So, does it make any more sense to anyone now?
Nope. :-)
Works for me fine either way. Perhaps providing information requested by <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> will shed some light. Perhaps not.
You could try it with strace and post the results too.
