Yes, I see this too. I have three different NT4.0 boxes installed with
the identical Cygwin (b18) binaries (I just copy my whole tree over), and
on the first machine I never have delays, on the second I have them in
certain circumstances, and the third has them for all new BASH shells -
with the exception of telnet sessions. It seems the environment which
telnetd lanches BASH, fixes the delay problem.
I've looked at the environment variables, but I can't find anything
that changes the behavior. Perhaps it's part of the tty processing?
Here's a description:
1) if I start a DOS shell, then fire up bash, it sits there about 20
seconds before giving me a prompt. Then, it works fine for a while.
after some time, I'll type a command, the command will execute
immediately, but the prompt takes about 20 seconds to appear. Then
things will work fine for while - then repeat.
2) shells fired up from within rxvt windows sometimes show this, sometimes
don't.
3) shells fired up from within telnetd never show it.
4) I'm running Sergey's 2.01 version of bash, with his cygwyn.dll, and
remote package (and X libraries for rxvt). Everything else is pretty
standard b18.
