I had the exact same problem, and emailed Sergey, who promptly replied and
resolved the problem.  You need to set CYGWIN_TTY=1 as a global environment
variable, in control panel|system|environment.

After you've done this, make sure you strip CR's out of your passwd file,
or you'll get another error.  I happen to use Ultraedit32, and it has an
option to convert a text file to "unix" format, which strips carriage returns.
