I just wanted to make it clear that we aren't going to be making any special concessions to a product like a virus scanner which cause perfectly acceptable code to misbehave. If that is the case then it is a situation for the virus scanner to work out. It's not a requirement that cygwin work around things like this. Maybe this is a given but I thought I'd just make it clear. >I've started to notice that even on one system that I have that is >relatively isolated, and not encumbered with security software, bash, >ssh, sh and other programs seems to consume an inordinate amount of CPU.
