I updated 3 machines: 2 XP boxes an 1 Win2k box. All 3 were running
cygrunsrv and sshd. I only experienced problems on the Win2k box.
cygrunsrv hogged the cpu until I killed it, then sshd hogged the cpu
until I killed it. After killing those processes, the update proceeded
without issue and after the restart everything (including ssh) was
working fine.
