IIRC, there is a Cygwin environment option CYGWIN=tty, that might
help.

The basic problem is that there is no documented way in Windows to
create a pseudo-tty like in Unix. So if you are not using the regular
NT console, Cygwin and rxvt have to play tricks, and even than it
doesn't always work.
Hope this helps, benny
