See what the "CYGWIN" environment variable is set to in both cases.  If the
'ssh' session has 'tty', you'll want to remove that.  It's probably in the
server's startup environment.  If having 'tty' set is the problem, you
should be able to reproduce it by running the same script from 'rxvt'.

Otherwise, see <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for a description of the
diagnostic information you should send to the list in any follow-up.
