@ Corinna & Larry: Thanks for your hints and suggestions!

I did what Larry wrote, there was only one piece of security software=20=20
to uninstall. No luck. Fresh setup of cygwin. Still no luck. Reinstall=20=
=20
new version of my av. Of course no luck...
I can add to the problem-report that not only top doesn't work in 95%=20=20
of invocations. On a random basis I get also fork()-errors or=20=20
segfaults when launching one more xterm-window.

Well, looks like I'm not hacker enough to solve it all on my own. So,=20=20
to investigate the issue: is there some super-verbose or debug-mode to=20=
=20
run cygwin/X/xterm/top to get further information what's going wrong?

Probably everybody can easily imagine, that I'm not keen on rolling=20=20
back the configured system to a plain unpatched W7 just to add one=20=20
more item to BLODA. That's where my question regarding verbose/debug=20=20
comes from.

Furthermore I see from the list, lot's of people have issues with=20=20
their cygwin/cygwinX installations on their w7 64bit boxes, often=20=20
showing somehow similar symptoms. At the people who got it running=20=20
without problems, segfaults, fork()-errors: What's the trick?=20=20
Disabling UAC and Defender? Using an English language Windows? Turning=20=
=20
on/off DEP, VT-x or whatever?


Thanks in advance, Philipp
