Cygwin cvs hang when used with PuTTY plink

- Subject: Cygwin cvs hang when used with PuTTY plink
I'm trying to use plink (release version 0.53b) and pageant along with
Cygwin cvs 1.11.6 on windows 98SE. A commandline CVS command succeeds
and displays the expected output, but then appears to hang. Nonetheless
in fact the DOS window is in fact alive and listening to input, for new
commands typed in are effective and the responses will appear if you
type ^C.
Example:
D:\dev>cvs status README
===================================================================
File: README Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.3
Repository revision: 1.3 /mis/dev/README,v
Sticky Tag: (none)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
... here the DOS window appears to hang. However if I now type "echo
hello", after pressing ^C I get the following lines ...
D:\dev>echo hello
hello
If I use Cygwin ssh in place of plink this hang does not occur.
Also, Eclipse's CVS appears to work correctly with either plink or
Cygwin ssh.
Hard to know if this is PuTTY, Cygwin, or something else. Thanks for any
insight!
John.
