This has something to do with how BACKSPACE is defined in xterm.  It is not
a generic cygwin problem.  I suggest that you try the cygwin-xfree mailing list
in that case.

Also, there is absolutely no reason to cc corinna-cygwin in your email.  Go
back and read the words at the top of http://cygwin.com/lists.html, please.
