Can you find a reliable way of reproducing this?  If so, please send the 
recipe, including all details (what terminal you're using, exactly what 
keys you're pressing in emacs, etc.)  Be sure to start emacs with the 
command 'emacs -Q' to eliminate the influence of your customizations.

And please follow the problem-reporting guidelines at

   http://cygwin.com/problems.html

including the part about attaching cygcheck output.

Also, it might make sense to update your Cygwin installation first, 
since new versions of cygwin and and xorg-server were just released today.

Finally, please tell me if the problem occurs with both emacs-23.3-1 and 
the test release emacs-23.3-2.
