Larry,
The issue is that strace output is too voluminous and os too intrusive. 
strace itself brings down the performance of the server I built. I tried a 
Dec 2001 pckage of cygwin and got the same results, so my guess is that the 
problem manifested itself somewhere b/w Dec 2000 and
Dec 2001.

Are there ftp archives of the older packages I can try. Please help me out 
here as I have really bad deadlines that I have too meet :)

THanks
-Johnny
