Wow.  I see a new, annoying trend developing.

People will now start thinking that they are suffering some kind of
tremendous mistreatment if the quality of answers doesn't match some
nebulous politeness threshold.  If they don't receive any reply at all,
they'll contact the ACLU.

To answer your question: I can't duplicate this.  I only tried W2K and
Windows 98.  I don't know precisely what you mean by "taskar flashes",
however.  Do you mean the whole taskbar?  Do you mean only the part that
relates to the command shell window?  You also mention a "cygwin
terminal window".  What is that?  rxvt?  The result of clicking on a
cygwin icon?
