Dave, thanks a lot! I followed the advice to rebase the cygwin1.dll and now I get a bash shell prompt. So indeed the combination of cygwin and BitDefender 2010 is the root cause of the problem. Now how to go on to get the cygwin installation fixed? As Larry pointed out - because bash could not be run during the setup process the postinstall scripts couldn't be run. Shall I just reinstall all packages but the core cygwin package? Also, it is not entirely clear to me if cygwin or BitDefender is to blame for the problem. Is there work going on to address this issue from the cygwin side? Should I contact BitDefender about the problem? I would regret it if cygwin can't be installed by Joe User on a system that has BitDefender 2010 installed as well.
