Man, why do I always think of stuff AFTER posting?

Anyway, I just remembered that I had tty set in the CYGWIN variable. 
Tried it without tty, and the problem's gone, at least in all the cases
I could think of where it was happening.

Problem is, not setting tty breaks some stuff.  For example, pico (^C
doesn't work.)  I'm sure there are other curses things that don't work
right either.

So, does it make any more sense to anyone now?
