Getting strace output would be helpful. You might have to modify the .bat
file which starts cygwin to do something like:
strace -oc:\strace.out bash --login -i
or just run the above command from a normal cmd window.
It would also be useful to see what your startup scripts look like. I
created an ssh-add.sh script in /etc/profile.d which looks like this:
. /tmp/.sshagent 2>/dev/null
if ! kill -0 $SSH_AGENT_PID 2>/dev/null; then
setsid ssh-agent > /tmp/.sshagent
. /tmp/.sshagent; ssh-add
fi
This creates a ssh-agent once, connects to it via ssh-add, and then uses
it in subsequent operations. It never hangs.
This particular problem is holding back the release of 1.5.14 so it
would be nice if someone could put some more effort into helping us
debug the problem.
