What's probably happening is that a Cygwin program is probably using
sockets which end up initializing Microsoft's Winsock DLL which in
turn is probably generating some Internet traffic.  Just a guess.  Or
it could be that this is the effect of bash's MAILCHECK feature.
Dunno.

any information at all about your systems.  :-)
