I am running GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on a Windows XP machine, and using the
cygwin bash (2.05b.0(9)-release) as my shell in shell-mode.  The
problem is that when I try to run scp (for example):

        scp foo ammons@bar:/tmp/baz

I get an error message like

        bash: [4828: 1] tcsetattr: Not a typewriter

and scp is stopped in the background.  Emacs sets TERM to "emacs",
which is not in c:/cygwin/etc/termcap; I have tried setting TERM to
"dumb" in my .bash_profile, but that didn't work.

I've never had this problem on Unix boxes.  Does anyone have a fix for
this behavior?

Thanks.
