XP sp2

I have local admin rights (ie, only on this machine), but it's a domain
account (hope that makes sense).  I don't know any details about the
domain unless you know how I can find them out (or what would be useful).

I've altered the cygwin.bat file changing

bash --login -i

to

strace -o c:\strace.txt bash --login -i

but I've yet to reproduce it since I made the modification :(  (and even
if it did, I wouldn't know what to look for in the 11MB+ trace!)

Sorry.  I know how hard it is to track down something that can't easily be
reproduced.
