        I've run into the problems with MSYS shell running within rxvt
        too (although with different software.)  It seems to be related
        to Windows ``console'' I/O.  Could you please try the following?

        * run sh.exe from cmd.exe, then try running csi.exe from it;

        * rename MSYSDIRECTORY/bin/rxvt.exe to MSYS/bin/rxvt1.exe, then
          try running msys.bat and csi.exe in the appearing window.
