it seems my mail client always compresses my attachemnts, and I can't do
anything 
about it, and the maillist spam-filters block my compressed version, and
the 
maillist won't accept my 'I am not a spammer mail'  so I guess i can't
send the 
strace output.

I did diff the strace output with and without allowing access to the DNS
lookup,
and there are no significant differences.

It has probably been 2 months since I updated.  I have no '//c' in my
paths

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.  While I am
certain that something about the cygwin upgrade ssh install caused this
change, it
seems toaffect other applictaions too (ipconfig now does a DNS request
too, which
it neverused to do)

Thanks,
Geoff
