Strange SSH behaviour after updating to Cygwin 2.0.1

[Achim Gratz <Stromeko@NexGo.DE>]

I'm seeing strange behaviour from SSH after updating both sides to Cygwin
2.0.1.  The symptoms, logging in via a 32bit client into a 32bit or 64bit
sshd instance on the server:

(1005)~ > ssh gratz@server -- tcsh -l
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.
term: Undefined variable.
ls -al /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 gratz Domain Users 5, 0 May  7 08:55 /dev/tty
echo test > /dev/tty
/dev/tty: No such device or address.

The kicker is: if I log in via bash everything works and I can then "exec
tcsh -l" just fine.  While the error seems to be on the server side, it is
actually client dependent; if I log in using the 64bit ssh client into
either sshd on the server, then everything works as expected.

I seem to remember that this has been mentioned before on this list, but I
can't find it.  The part of the strace corresponding to the last command:

echo test >/dev/tty

If anybody has ideas what else to try?
