Possible terminal emulation problem? 

Are you saying that you see 'login' itself in the ps each time enter is
pressed? That'd seem more like a getty misconfiguration to me; makes it
sound like login's getting hung up somewhere before the user's
environment is set up.

Never used cygwin before, but is there anything meaningful in the system
logfiles?

You are seeing *something* on the VT220 aren't you? (login prompt or
whatever)

cheers
