Unless someone on this list is seeing the exact same problem you are and has found a solution (which is possible), I expect no one else will be able to provide an answer to your question. It might be better to submit a problem report to the list following the guidelines of the link below. > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html If you do this, it will enable others who haven't experienced the problem you're seeing to reproduce it, understand it, and fix it or provide some insight for existing solutions or workarounds.
