As mentioned in the announcement (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-04/msg00000.html>), you need to have "tty" in your CYGWIN environment variable. This needs to be set *before* the shell is started, so good places would be /Cygwin.bat or the system environment (i.e., don't do this in shell startup files). This should really be in the Cygwin-specific emacs README -- Joe, are you reading this? Barring that, this may be good FAQ fodder.
