Simple problems running Karaf in Cygwin Bash shell

["KARR, DAVID" <dk...@att.com>]

I installed the Unix/Linux/Cygwin Karaf 2.3.3 distro on my Win 7 box.  I opened up a Cygwin "rxvt" window, changed to the karaf installation, and then ran "bin/karaf" in my Cygwin bash window.

Along with the logo, this prints the following:
--------------
Hit '<tab>' for a list of available commands
and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command.
Hit '<ctrl-d>' or type 'osgi:shutdown' or 'logout' to shutdown Karaf.

karaf@root>
--------------

At this point, pressing "<tab>" inserts a tab character at the Karaf prompt and does nothing else.  In fact, it appears to me that nothing is listening for input at all at this point.

I have usually found it better to run start.bat in a regular cmd window, 
or run karaf as a windows service using wrapper.  You can also run 
karaf.bat within cygwin, then follow the ssh command below.

To connect from cygwin, you can use:

ssh -p8101 karaf@localhost

This works pretty well.
