I have no idea why the original login(1) is doing that. However, it did never hurt since login is supposed to work only with servers as telnetd or rlogind (you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/login.README?) which use the -h option. So these login attempts never see this resetting rows and columns to 0. However, I checked against other (non-Cygwin-)versions of login(1) and these versions are not doing that so I'm going to take the code out for us, too. Expect a new version soon.
