  You didn't address the other settings I mentioned, such as

SHELL = `C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\mksnt\sh.exe'
TERM = `nutc'
TERMCAP = `C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\etc\termcap'
TERMINFO = `C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\usr\lib\terminfo'

all of which are going to confuse cygwin as well.

Your problem is almost certainly not cygwin related then; there's no way any
user-mode program should cause a BSoD.  You may have a faulty network card
driver.  Or are you by any chance running Novell Netware?  That's been known
to interact badly with cygwin in the past as well.  *Particularly* if a
netware-mounted drive is in $PATH.




    cheers,
