Whoops. That's two errors in this thread. This should have been the Windows PID of cat. *blush*. > $ cat /proc/registry/HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/@ > > /bin/kill -f doesn't work.

Huh? What's 1748? Did you mean 1432? Also, you either supply -9 or -f (-9 sends Cygwin SIGKILL, -f uses TerminateProcess). Sorry for the confusion. Hope we'll get this sorted out eventually.
