I installed cygwin on my new HP Pavilion machine running (ecch!) Vista.
I added a few items to the default install parameters (notably vim and
file), then started my download.
It got "stuck" about 80% through -- sat at 80% for over an hour.
I cancelled the install, and tried again with a different mirror. This
time it got stuck at about 32%.
I tried yet another mirror and finally got a supposedly complete
install. Then I started up a bash shell in a command window (using the
Cygwin shortcut).
I observe the following two symptoms:
1. Nearly all commands appear to complete without doing anything. This
includes "ls", "cat", "vi".
The following commands work properly:
echo
true
false ($? == 1)
dirs
if...then.fi
test
2. exit doesn't exit. Instead, I get the following message:
4 [main] bash 1576 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp
before initialization, retry 10, exit code 0x1000000, errno 11
