[BCCing seven people that have asked about this bug somewhat recently]
This bug has been around for a long time, but it was thought to be a
Cygwin/XFree86-specific bug. However, I recently learned that this is a
general XFree86 bug that is reproducible on, probably, all other platforms.
Ivan Pascal submitted a patch to XFree86 that fixes the problem. His
description of the problem and his patch can be found in this archive of
his email:

XFree86's Bugzilla Bug #301 also has information and discussion about
this bug:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301
Finally, Ivan's patch was applied to XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-13, which can
be downloaded and installed via Cygwin's setup.exe. The "Test100"
release notes describe the other changes made in 4.3.0-13:
