OpenSSH, Cygwin, eXceed, and SIGINT

Gert,
	Both ISIG and ICANON are being cleared (both with and without x11
forwarding enabled,) vi enter_raw_mode() in sshtty.c.  The part that
perplexes me is that the bug only shows up when x11 forwarding is enabled.
Any ideas?

If the client were running on a unix machine, I'd say that the "ISIG" and/or
"ICANON" flags of the tty control structure are not cleared (thus making
the local terminal handler interpret ctrl-c and generate a SIGINT).

As this is Cygwin, I have no idea, never used this, and I have no idea
whether they have POSIX tty "things" (POSIX termios structure, and
underlying logic).
