In general, non-cygwin programs can't be run reliably inside of an
application that uses cygwin PTYs, including xterm, rxvt, and screen.


Don't quote these headers.  We already know them.

And don't do this.  Such "disclaimers" are against unenforcible when
sent to a public mailing list, and you will likely be banned from the
mailing list if you continue posting them.  If you need to, send
emails from a private address so this doesn't happen.
