This problem has been noted before by someone else, http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg37532.html
but I followed the threads and can find no resolution. When I fire-up a cygwin bash window, everything is fine for a few minutes. Then the CPU utilization on my system suddenly jumps to 100%. Bash is typically grabbing about 80% of the CPU, with almost all the rest grabbed by CSRSS. This all happens even if I just let the bash window sit unused. In other words, it does not seem related to anything I do in the bash window. The problem arises even if I fire-up cygwin and do nothing in the bash window. The cygcheck.out file is attached. This all makes cygwin unusable for me, which is unfortunate. Cygwin did work fine for several years on this PC. This problem started happening only recently, and of course I reinstalled cygwin from the web site but that has not helped. My PC does receive the latest updates and patches from Microsoft, and perhaps that is related to the sudden appearance of this problem. Any suggestions on how to get cygwin running properly for me again would be most appreciated.
