I've also observed very slow bash startup, on two different hosts after upgrade to cygwin 1.5.13-1. The first time I start bash after a reboot it pauses for several minutes without completing its startup scripts. If I interrupt the startup and exit bash, then start bash again, now it starts up in about the usual amount of time, until I reboot again. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
