I am having a problem when running Cygwin in Win98. (Win2K on the same machine
does not give me this issue).  I am running the 1.3.3 DLL.

After running cygwin apps for a few minutes, the entire OS slows down.  The
slow down happens in spurts.  

It is very difficult to explain, but the easiset way I can think to explain it
is this :  When I move my mouse back and forth across the screen, the mouse
will stop for about 1 second, and continue to move for 2 more.  Then, the mouse
will stop for about 1 second, and continue to move for 2 more seconds again. 
This pattern repeats itself.

I use the mouse movement as an explination of the problem, but it really
affects the entire system.  All programs loose responsiveness (And I suspect
processor time as well).  Along with this, if this happens over a long enough
period of time, the Windows Clock (in the lower right corner of the taskbar)
falls behind as well!!!  It continues to move forward, but at a reduced rate.

I am sorry I cannot give any other details than this.  Has anyone ever seen
this happen?  

Thanks,
Brian
