(http://www.cygwin.com/acronyms/) I reported the exact same behaviour (with a test script that reproduces the same behaviour even without Cygwin) for Avira Antivir last year: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00691.html. They (Avira) did an update afterwards which reduced the chances for this behaviour, but the latest version is as bad as the one back then. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
