rxvt pops up new CMD windows for cygwin commands INSIDE batch files

Hi all,
does anyone have this problem, or does anyone know how to make it go away?
Problem Summary:
rxvt pops up new CMD windows for cygwin commands INSIDE batch files, but not
the batch file itself. This is annoying, I don't want any windows popping up
at all.
(output of cygcheck -s at bottom of email FYI)
Okay, here are some examples.
I start up a bash prompt and a rxvt window (running bash) via the Run dialog
box on the Start menu.
In bash I do this
$ cmd /c ls
and, as expected, it just does a directory listing.
If I do the same thing in rxvt, the ls command runs in a pop-ed up cmd
window (which then closes when ls is done).
If I do this in rxvt:
$ cmd /c cat
I can see it is definitely a CMD window (when I end cat with a ^D the window
closes). While the window is up, the shell in rxvt is waiting for cmd to
exit (as expected).
I initially thought it might be CMD that is popping up the window, so I
wrote this .BAT file:
--- a.bat ---
echo this is the CMD version of ECHO
@rem run the CMD command 'dir'
dir
-------
When I run this in bash, all the output stays in the bash (via ./a.bat)
window, and the SAME HAPPENS when I run it in rxtv. rxtv is not poping up a
window to run this .BAT file.
So, I made this .BAT file that contains a cygwin command:
--- b.bat ---
echo this is the CMD version of ECHO
@rem run the cygwin command 'cat'
cat
------
When I run b.bat in bash, it stays in the same window.
When I run it in rxvt, a CMD window pops up to run 'cat', but the output of
'echo' is in the rxvt window.
Here is the output you see in rxvt:
--- output of b.bat in rxvt ---
$ ./b.bat
e:\opt\cygwin\tmp\z>echo this is the CMD version of ECHO
this is the CMD version of ECHO
e:\opt\cygwin\tmp\z>cat
$
------
Oi.... this is really annoying me. Anyone have any ideas, or am I stuck with
it?
Thanks for your time!

PS: thanks very much for making cygwin so KICK ASS! I use it all day, every
day!
