Hmmmmmm.... Seems cygstart runs the application ok even without modifying
the CYGWIN variable. This holds true for two other applications I was
having trouble with. I had been using the native M$ telnet and ftp before I
set CYGWIN=tty for sshd. These two display bizarre behavior with tty set.
Telnet just quits and returns to a command prompt and ftp doesn't echo
typing. I got around this by installing the cygwin versions. Cygstart runs
them ok as well without unsetting or changing CYGWIN.
