thanks. That was it. How it got changed...... I must have done it in my
sleep.
Sorry about cygcheck, I thought the information for bash & cygwin itself
would be sufficient

You missed some important data requested by:
>Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
for problem reports. Specifically, you left out the cygcheck output
from these machines. From it, I could tell for sure whether my semi-WAG
is the solution for your problem. Oh well.
Take 'tty' out of the CYGWIN environment variable on the first machine
and restart the shells. You'd see this same thing with Cygwin 1.5.5 too,
if you used 'tty' with it.
