So much for useful problem reports. I tried it with a rsh/rlogin server on a RHEL4 machine and I could reproduce the hang. It turned out that it has nothing to do with rsh, but with rlogin. It has nothing to do with Cygwin from CVS, but it also happens with the current 1.5.24 and older releases. It has nothing to do with Vista, it also happens on other Windows versions. The problem is a race condition in rlogin when setting the tty mode to !ECHO/!ICANON which for some reason only occurs in the standard Windows console in notty mode. I've uploaded a new version of inetutils which hopefully fixes this problem.
