Hi,

I am happy to be able to run B20 on my office computer !  While B19 refused
to run, now B20 runs pretty well as far as I can tell. 

There is perhaps some delay problem in getting the first Bash prompt.  It
took 50 seconds for the $ prompt to appear after I clicked on the CYGNUS icon.

Well, I wish I could show you a test case but I think you guys cannot
repeat the test on your machine anyway since the problem is likely
machine/installation dependent.

I do have something to show you, however, in the spirit of software
testing.  I ran cygcheck as recommended and here is the output with timing
informarion.  It took 7 minutes to complete cygcheck.  Here is the output
of cygcheck:
