Cygwin screen opening multiple DOS boxes

[Sorry if this shows up as a duplicate, my original post does not seem
to have shown up]

This may well be a Cygwin issue, but I'd like to know if anyone else
here has seen it...

When running screen under Cygwin, for each window that is open in the
session, I get a seperate, blank MS-DOS box with the cygwin command as
its title.

So when I launch screen, it runs and I get an [annoying] DOS box pop
up in the foreground over the top of my Cygwin session. If I open
another window with 'Ctrl-a c' I get a second DOS box, etc etc.

For each screen window I close, the corresponding DOS box closes, and
if I close the DOS box, that particular screen window is terminated.

Here's what I'm running:

 $ uname -a
 CYGWIN_NT-4.0 abc123 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

 $ screen --version
 Screen version 4.00.01 (FAU) 18-Sep-03

I know this isn't normal, and is very annoying. Does anyone know what
is going on here?

Thanks,
Ian.
