Okay, this is very strange. As I said before, I have had no problems launching XTerms
on my desktop running 64-bit Cygwin. I've launched several XTerms today with no problems
... until a few minutes ago. I went to launch an XTerm on my desktop PC and it began
having the same problem I saw on the laptop (the error having to do with XTERM_SHELL).

I edited the launcher shortcut to remove the "/bin/zsh -l" from the end of the command
and it started working again.

I didn't do anything to update the Cygwin product on my desktop during this time.

I'm confused...

FYI.
