mintty window flashes open and immediately closes


Hello,

I've been using cygwin for years with no problems.  I just updated cygwin again and I suddenly can't get into the terminal. When I click the cygwin icon, the window just flashes and immediately closes.

What's interesting is that I have a number of cygwin/mintty shortcuts for SSH servers as `c:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/ssh user@server.com`, which work just fine. I can also get in if I run `cygwin.bat` in `cmd`, `console2` or any other Windows command terminal.

I've tried running the latest cygwin setup, reinstalling `mintty`, and the shortcut still fails. The shortcut is just the default target: `C:\path\to\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe /bin/bash --login -i`

I don't know what else to try.  What happened here and how do I fix this?

Thanks
 - Brent
