I've also observed very slow bash startup, on two different hosts after
upgrade to cygwin 1.5.13-1.  The first time I start bash after a reboot it
pauses for several minutes without completing its startup scripts.  If I
interrupt the startup and exit bash, then start bash again, now it starts
up in about the usual amount of time, until I reboot again.
