Another difference is that under Cygwin quitting with Ctrl-Z works, but it doesn't under rxvt. Very strange.

ghci command history broken under rxvt and xterm
When using ghci with rxvt under cygwin, the command history doesn't work. When I press the up arrow, for example, the cursor moves up, instead of showing the previous command. xterm has the same problem, but with cygwin's default console it works. I don't know where to start looking. Maybe this is something solveable thinkering with ~/.inputrc, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about it.
