hang on windows

[Jeff Sparks]

(Posted on comp.emacs before I discovered this list.)

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 Windows (precompiled download) 
 host: Windows XP (with all latest updates)

It just hangs indefinitely with "Waiting for prompts from remote
shell" until I do CTRL-g.

The commands
    ssh terra -l sparks
and
    ssh terra -l sparks -e none
work fine on the Windows cmd shell and on the cygwin shell (rxvt).

ssh/scp located in d:\bin, which is the first part of my PATH (as set
via Windows system panel).

I'm using the scp/ssh which comes with cygwin:
OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006

The configuration line is taken from the INSTALL file:
./configure --with-lispdir='d:/win/install/emacs-21.3/site-lisp' --
infodir='d:/win/install/emacs-21.3/info'/

My public key is on 'terra' (OS X machine) for no-password login
(probably not relevant).

The only thing different is my non-standard install path for emacs, 
 though I don't see how that could be relevant.
