Here's some more information on the pause problem.

It's not random for me.  I installed the CDK to
D:\.  The installation program defaults the mount
point of "/" to "c:".  After correcting this in
the registry to "d:", I launch bash via the provided
icon.

If the bash executable setting (CYGNUS.PIF) "Start in:"
is set to "D:", then I have the long pause between the
bash window opening and the display of the prompt.  (As
I recall, issuing subsequent disk related commands results
in the long pause.)  Changing "Start in:" to "C:", eliminates
the problem.  (The prompt shows up "immediately" after the bash
window opening.)
