Subject:	Re: CYGWIN-1.1.0 trouble: 40 to 80 sec delay if no network connection

As a follow-up to the previous e-mail from me, I did some more
experiments now and found something that might be quite important
to know:

Two situations must be distinguished:

 a) The network cable is attached when I log-in into Windows
    NT, I register for the domain DEIHF, and the environment
    variable LOGONSERVER gets assigned a value IHFSRV or IHFBDC
    (we have two Windows NT servers, and depending on the load
    an automatic algorithm decides which one to use)

 b) When I already remove the network cable while logging in
    (but I still register for the domain DEIHF), I get a windows
    NT message that "no domain server is available, a local copy
    of the environment will be used instead", and the environment
    variable LOGONSERVER is set to UJ-NTBK (this is my local 
    machine).

For the situation a), when executing a CYGNUS command without
network cable attached, the delay seems to be 75 to 80 sec now,
for the situation b) it is only about 15 sec.

When running the command "strace d:\cygnus\cygwin-1.1.0\bin\pwd"
for situation a) it hangs completely (last night I waited 10 min,
this morning now more than 6 min), for the situation b) the delay
is also only 15 sec, and pwd completes.

For the situation b) the last lines of the output file from strace
before it hangs are (for a full file for situation a) see previous 
e-mail, file out.2):
