Bingo. That's it. In particular, joining a domain locks down the perms of
your C:\ root drive. If, for instance, a folder under that relies on the
default perms being inherited, it's going to be in trouble.
I think this is a problem any time you install cygwin as a local admin, then
join a domain, then try and use it as a domain user, although I may not have
the precise order of events right there. But I'm certain the key to this
problem is in the perm changes that get applied when you join a domain.
Simplest workaround would be to always join the machine to the domain first
and install cygwin second.
