I have same experience with Cygwin 1.5.5 I updated my Cygwin to 1.5.5 and XEmacs became unusable. Cygwin 1.3.20 works OK. XEmacs I am using is 21.5.5, but this must be a Cygwin bug because I only ungraded Cygwin. The problem starts when I run a subprocess from XEmacs. Good example is gnuserv. This is not a gnuserv related bug because clearcase.el also wrecks XEmacs, which also runs subprocesses. Having run a subprocess, XEmacs screen failed to get updated, characters dissappear. I found a thread on an XEmacs mailing list which describes the same problem. There is a hint on this thread about the root cause: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200309/msg00312.html
I tried and recompiled the very same XEmacs version I mentioned above, but it did not help. I compiled some more recent beta and normal XEmacs versions, but they all suffer from this problem. Many thanks to the good soul who could fix this bug. I am happy assist you in testing it.
