In the future, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, since it plays hell
with archive searches (introducing false positive hits).
One obvious thing wrong with your cygcheck output is that you have two
copies of cygwin1.dll on your machine, and, worse, in your PATH. The one
in r:\Eng-sw\bin should be removed -- it's old.
As for your tcsh hang, I suspect one of the programs or functions called
from the startup files is the culprit. If deleting the extra cygwin1.dll
doesn't cure it, I'd suggest running "tcsh -f" from a DOS prompt. If it
doesn't hang with "-f", try determining where it hangs by calling "tcsh
-X" (note the capital "X"). If it still hangs, you might want to build a
debug version and spend some time in gdb.
