Are you just using the default cywin shell/dos window to do the ssh? I
would suggest trying rxvt.exe or a full Xwindows/xterm and ssh from
there. If you do one of them, does everything work?

I can't stand using the default shell window because of the terminal
interactions. I always use rxvt.

I've never had a problem with in that situation, but it's
something to try. I can't imagine what in openssh might be contributing
to this or not.

I was using xterm, but I figured out it was user screwup when my other
tools (vnc/putty/etc) started showing the same behavior. I had edited
..inputrc, probably through cygwin, and I guess my editor got confused
about whether it was windows or linux and screwed up the end of line
chars. I edited it again and saved with unix eol and it's all working now.

Thanks
