I suspect that the problem is some kind of incompatibility between
the Cygwin-compiled Bash/rxvt and NTEmacs: the way rxvt works is by
opening a pipe to the program(s) it runs, and it sounds like the pipe
it opens doesn't look as a tty to NTEmacs.

Is that a Cygwin-compiled XEmacs, per chance?

Anyway, this sort of thing should be reported to gnu.emacs.bug, not
here.
