I've been having a problem for a while now on my XP laptop with an Oracle
program (sqlplus). When I start sqlplus, it prompts for a user id and then
a password. When I run it from the windows shell (cmd.exe) it works as
expected, i.e. the user id is echoed and the password is not:
c:\$temp>sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Feb 2 07:24:24 2004

Enter user-name: myid
Enter password:
In bash or ksh, the password gets echoed as well (and shouldn't be):
lap /home/rossboulet # sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Feb 2 07:22:35 2004

Enter user-name: myid
Enter password: mypass
Its been happening to me for the last several releases of cygwin but I can't
say exactly when it started happening. Any suggestions?
