Hi,

I too have seen this behaviour on both my work and home systems. Whats 
interesting is I ran cygcheck -c on each when exhibiting this problem 
and it said OK for the cygwin package.

Is there a check that needs to be added to cygcheck which reports this 
as a problem? Or perhaps this is not the type of problem cygcheck is 
designed to detect?

Cheers
Dave
