I have local admin rights (ie, only on this machine), but it's a domain account (hope that makes sense). I don't know any details about the domain unless you know how I can find them out (or what would be useful). > Maybe that goes without saying, but somebody actually debugging this > who can reproduce this behaviour would be a great help... I've altered the cygwin.bat file changing bash --login -i to strace -o c:\strace.txt bash --login -i but I've yet to reproduce it since I made the modification :( (and even if it did, I wouldn't know what to look for in the 11MB+ trace!) Sorry. I know how hard it is to track down something that can't easily be reproduced.
