You're probably right, since my CygWin update included more than just CVS.
I got a similar response from the OpenSSH folks. And now that I reconsider,
SSH is pretty unlikely to try munging the data stream this way, given its

for the bother...I made a wrong turn somewhere along my thought process. :-)
