Only with the rxvt-109 version.  I'm trying to track that down.  The 
rxvt-108 version behaves itself.  The next snapshot will revert to the 
previous version of rxvt as found in msys-1.0.8.  I hope to have the 
next snapshot ready by the end of the week.  I'm chasing a tty issue 
currently that I've introduce where Ctrl-C doesn't signal process abort.
