termcap problem in RXVT?

I have installed CygWin on numerous machines using teh nice setup program at
cygwin.com. Recently, however, I have installed CygWin on two machines (one
a W2K machine and the other a Win98SE machine) and when I tried to run rxvt
I got strange behavior for the prompt. If I bring up a bash shell
immediately after installing, then type "rxvt" at the bash prompt, this is
what shows up in the rxvt console:

--- start ---
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ 
--- end ---

I am at a loss to explain what to do. This has not happened to me in prior
cygwin installs. I checked the FAQ and the mailing list archives for March,
but could not find any reference to anything new that should have caused
this.
