Greetings.
Last June, Tom Dorgan posted to messages regarding problems with rxvt:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-06/msg00652.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-06/msg00390.html
I suffer from the same problems. Nobody answered Tom. Can anybody help with
this issue? These are very annoying bugs, and make it though to sell cygwin
to Windows users (these bugs are very apparant).
Following a quick cut&paste from Tom's descriptions:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-06/msg00652.html -->
When scrolling up past 1 screen in the rxvt term, what you see is not
what is just preceeding in the file - stuff is lost and what you see is
much earlier (older) output.

running the latest version of rxvt it appears that, under certain
conditions (several hours of use), the scroll bar "fills up" and no
longer functions. That is, it looks exactly like it does when the
window is created and there is nothing to scroll.

Sincerely,
Hans Deragon
