Pierre, Thanks for the feedback. One of the users is the administrator. The other is not in the admin group, but has the 'create global object' right per a note I saw from Corinna.
The snapshot I installed is from 12/1, should this be recent enough? It does not appear to depend on the order. Both the root (administrator) and user login are via terminal services. I just tried it with administrator logged in locally, as well as through TS, and it still occurs. I also noticed (one time only) that tcsh (my default shell) goes compute bound. I tried it with bash, and the rxvt window seems to more-or-less self-destruct on its own (ie I don't even get the opportunity to close it...it just goes away as soon as I touch it). The times when the window is hung, I cannot type anything into the window. The only thing I can do is close it. Thanks for your thoughts...any additional ideas would be appreciated.

What do you mean exactly? >Is there a naming conflict or something, such that there can only be one >Cygwin user on a Win2003 server? Obviously there is "something", but it shouldn't be there. There have been lots of changes to that part of Cygwin. Could you try with a recent snapshot and report again?
