cygwin emacs: broken key mappings

Hi,

Just so you know, you do not need X to run rxvt. The rxvt distributed with
cygwin (X:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe) does not require any libs from XFree86 only
the normal win32 libs and the cygwin1.dll.

I'm having this same problem and have tty in my CYGWIN env var.  I don't 
run X and really don't care to, so xterm and rxvt aren't options.  Is 
there anything I can do to fix this?
