Gary, It's usually not a good idea to send messages to individual people from the Cygwin list -- see <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE> for a list of reasons. Frankly, I've never experienced the above problem, and only replied to someone with a guess that this was not Cygwin-related. Your message confirms my guess that the problem has little to do with Cygwin itself (as you also observe this with MKS). I usually redirect messages of this sort to the Cygwin list. FWIW, beyond stating that it's not a Cygwin problem (which I already did above), this thread of discussion will be deemed off-topic on the list. However, some people might be able to point you to a better forum for asking about this. There may also be something in the SysInternals suite that would help you track this down. It might also be worth posting this to the cygwin-talk list -- if you're lucky, you might get a bit of useful information.
