That way lies madness… and I can't really tell you as this machine is not under my control, so tons of GP directives. Both my user and admin account are actually domain accounts, not local ones, and the admin account is from a different (but federated) domain. Again, I have no idea if that's needed for the problem to occur, but it isn't on at least one other machine (that is a different install type, so gets different GP applied). Both accounts (but especially my user account) will return lots of data when you ask the AD for just about anything other than just the username, so these queries take some time. From the different workarounds that were applicable to different versions of Cygwin and the fact it sometimes works when trying to strace, it still seems to me that it livelocks on some unexpected condition.
