Just curious, what part of 'man2pdf' did you run that indicates
that it works on your system? (Commands and options, would be
most helpful.)

Bash completion is installed on my system but never loaded; i.e.,
/etc/bash_completion is not sourced in '~/.bashrc', or
'~/.profile', or anywhere else.
Why do you think this is the cause of the problem?
You might be combining two parts of my report in a
misleading way. The slowdown was due to the errant Bash
sessions not the cause of them. A reboot eventually returned
the system to its normal sluggish state (for Cygwin on a 64-bit
version of Windoze). Or, what don't I understand?

I'm more inclined to believe that it has something to do with
either:
* the "extreme" number of processes generated by:
'mkperlmanpdfs'/'man2pdf' and interaction possibly with a
'bash' bug
or
* corrupt fonts in Windows or Cygwin that 'man'/'groff' is
"barfing" on.
WRT the font "issue" (real or imagined on my part), I'm unclear
on whether Cygwin can use Windows TT fonts for things like
'groff', and X windows rendering. (I would like to know, for
example, how to specify which fonts to 'enscript'.)
*But*, *I know I don't know what I'm talking about and that's why
I asked the Cygwin list.*

The Club-G (TM) scripts are an interdependent set that I wrote,
which will be published, RSN, on OpenEnterprise.org/Club-G.
"Club-G" (TM), BTW, stands for:
Cygwin
Linux
Unix
BSD
-
GNU -- largely, the embodiment, personification, and
repository for all the best aggregate wisdom of the
above
(The weasel word, "largely", is *largely* due to 'info'
vs 'man'! Every man [not 'man'] has his hamartia, and
RSM's is, IMHO, 'info'! 'info' is definitely one
"cathedral" that's bizarre!) ;-)
