Perhaps a bug in the latest Cygwin? I had a problem running a fullscreen X session using ssh under cygwin 1.7. At the time I did a search and found this message to the list: > -----Original Message----- > From: Carl Flippin [mailto:ca...@photocarl.org] > Sent: Saturday, 28 November 2009 12:44 PM > To: cygwin@cygwin.com > Subject: OpenSSH tunnel hanging > > I am having a problem with my ssh tunnel hanging when anything higher bandwith (e.g. YouTube) goes over it.

I downgraded back to 1.5 and haven't had any problems. So I'm thinking there might be a bug in ssh. Maybe this is related?
