The proc_retry:1 worked great!  Although, at first I didn't think it was 
working, because I was trying to set the CYGWIN environment variable 
from within the shell.  For anybody else who does this (at least with 
rxvt), this seems to only work if you set it in the cygwin.bat file that 
launches the terminal.  I presume the CYGWIN variable is only read once 
when launching the the cygwin DLL?

Thanks Chris and Dave.

Best Regards,
Chris
