That's interesting. It only occurs when running bash as shell. Tcsh just does business as usual after `stty sane'. If you call `stty -a' after calling `stty sane', you see what happened: $ stty -a speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; [...] stty has set erase to ^H. Is that perhaps because terminfo still specifies ^H as erase for the "cygwin" terminal type? > > - Q: How do I know that I'm running Cygwin 1.7.0-49? > > > > A: The `uname -v' command prints "2009-06-08 22:13" > > Would "cygcheck -c cygwin" also be worth a mention? And what would that tell us? Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status cygwin 1.7.0-49 OK Hmm...
