I can't but help think it may be an environment issue since it only happens
when I try to lanuch a xterm through the rsh daemon.  Are there any
particular envirnoment variables that need to be set ?  The only one I know
of ( apart from having the path set up corectly ) is SYSTEMROOT which needs
to be set to point at the winnt directory ( im runing on win2k )

I have made the xterm start throught the rsh daemon by running the following
however:

rsh ntxserver "/cygwin/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c ""xterm -display
mymachine:0 -e bash"""

I also have another problem, most of the time when I type exit the xterm
goes to 100cpu usage and hangs, however if I click on the 'x' in the top
right of the window instead to close it, it hasn't hang yet.  This also
seems to happen with rxvt.  Unfotuantly I havent been able to reproduce this
when running it through strace.
