It is a short snippet, but it is repeated indefinitely. It seems that the attachment it is in Unix format, it was generated under Cygwin.

The presense of all the packages in the cygcheck output in the body of the message creates false positives when people try searching the archives, which results in more "archives are useless" posts. If you did send yours as an attachment, check your mail software configuration, it's likely set to put text attachments inline. That said, try attaching to the hanging/100% CPU rxvt process with "strace" (I'm assuming Task Manager shows rxvt as using 100% CPU). See where it's hanging. You might also try "gdb", but that's likely to help less. Snip out the relevant strace output and post it to the list (as an attachment, probably compressed, as it's likely to be large). At least it should give you an idea of where it's looping. If strace doesn't produce any results (i.e., rxvt hangs/loops inside a Windows DLL somewhere), try running "strace -o rxvt.strace rxvt " and look at the bottom of that output. For more details, "strace --help".
