Subject:	Extremely slow file access under bash

My bash shell had recently shown an extreme delay when doing anything
requiring file access, including ls, cp, mv, etc.  It'll sit there for
over a minute doing then nothing, then executing the task in a flurry,
like some sort of floodgate was holding the task back, then suddenly 
opening.

My task manager under NT4sp6a doesn't indicate any runaway process 
(cpu usage is <5%), and everything is fine under Windows (explorer
and the command prompt).  So I'm at a loss as to why doing a simple 
'ls' takes over a minute to start.  Can anyone clue me in?  Thanks.

Matt Clark
