Dave, thanks a lot! I followed the advice to rebase the cygwin1.dll
and now I get a bash shell prompt. So indeed the combination of cygwin
and BitDefender 2010 is the root cause of the problem.
Now how to go on to get the cygwin installation fixed? As Larry
pointed out - because bash could not be run during the setup process
the postinstall scripts couldn't be run.
Shall I just reinstall all packages but the core cygwin package?
Also, it is not entirely clear to me if cygwin or BitDefender is to
blame for the problem. Is there work going on to address this issue
from the cygwin side? Should I contact BitDefender about the problem?
I would regret it if cygwin can't be installed by Joe User on a system
that has BitDefender 2010 installed as well.
Best regards,
Bernd.
