I confirm that Tramp 2.1.5 does not work with out-of-band methods
under Cygwin. Using CVS Tramp, there are no problems.

Unfortunately, there are non-trivial changes in Tramp since the
release of 2.1.5. So it might hard to extract a patch.

Could you consider to check Tramp from CVS? Furthermore, I'm quite
optimistic that Tramp 2.1.6 can be released soon. There are still some
items on the todo list, but they don't look critical.

Best regards, Michael.
