I have this problem as well.

I am able to reproduce this problem running cygwin 1.3.12 on WinXP and
Win2k.
The problem seems to be occuring when all of the following conditions are
met:
- Must be running under plain bash.exe or cmd.exe
- Must be using ssh protocol v2 (via -2, or set in ssh_config or
~/.ssh/config)
- X11 forwarding must be enabled (either via -X, or in ssh_config or
~/.ssh/config)
- DISPLAY variable must be set
The problem:
- ssh is killed regardless of the state of the remote connection - it
seems to be local. ssh is killed when ctrl-c is pressed.
- does not occur when ssh is run under xterm or rxvt, even if TERM is set
to cygwin.
- occurs even when remote machine's sshd has "X11Forwarding no" set in
sshd_config.
- is independent of the authentication method.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Arthur
