The same here. I upgraded only the cygwin1.dll to 1.3.3-2 for testing purposes.

I found one behaviour of the same kind as Danny mentioned.

When calling

  net start inetd

from an rxvt or xterm window, I get a cmd popup window which shows
that net.exe actually calls net1.exe from the same directory (C:\WINNT\system32)
in my case. If I call net1 directly the output goes in the rxvt/xterm window as
expected.

Calling either from a bash console window doesn't popup a new cmd window.

Strange enough,

  net use

called from a rxvt/xterm window produces output inside the rxvt/xterm window.


Hmmmmm....
