Hi,

Thank you very much for the information, and please forgive me for this 
reply if I have the problem described in the FAQ.

I only have Windows Defender installed from the list but I am using it with 
cygwin for more than a year without any problems.

Note that according to the error message CreateProcessA is failing rather 
than cygwin's fork implementation and other processes not related to cygwin 
start fail to initialize (CreateProcess fails) after cygwin starts failing.

Have anybody else experienced this problem?

Kornél

  Which rather suggests it is not a problem with Cygwin (which is a 
user-mode
application and should not be able to break or otherwise affect separate
processes or the O/S kernel).

  Identify the BLODA application that has borked your computer:

http://cygwin.com/acronyms#BLODA
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.bloda

and uninstall it.

    cheers,
