OK, I have never used this command before, and was therefore not aware
of the correct syntax.

I did now in a DOS window (network cable attached).
  cd \cygnus\cygwin-1.1.0\bin
  .\strace .\pwd 

No problem, the command runs without any visible delay and terminates
correctly. Now I remove the network cable, and run ".\strace .\pwd" again.
The execution seems to hang completely (not only 40 to 80 sec delay, I 
have been waiting for more than 10 minutes now), the last lines on the 
screen are

 3119 1019256 [main] pwd 1000 sig_send: returning 0 from sending signal -2
12037 1031293 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Domain: DEIHF
 3200 1034493 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Login Server: IHFBDC
 3058 1037551 [main] pwd 1000 internal_getlogin: Windows Username: Jakobus
 3083 1040634 [main] pwd 1000 lookup_name: name  : Jakobus

Does this information help? Even if after 10 minutes I attach the network
cable again, the process remains hanging.

I should perhaps mention that I work on a notebook computer which has a
nice suspend function to save the main memory to disk and resume operation
without rebooting. For this reason, I almost never boot, and when I work
at home (without network connection), I simply switch on the notebook computer
again and continue from where I stopped. I have absolutely no problems
with other programs (of course when my e-mail program wants to make a POP
connection it complains about being unable to connect, or if I want to print
to a network printer), everything else runs fine, also the old CYGWIN-B20.1 
did run without any trouble this way.
