I installed cygwin version.  Not sure of the version but somtime at beginning of this year 2004.

I never really use it except for the whois functionality.  A few days ago I noticed when I first double click on the icon on my Windows 2000 SP3 desktop the console comes up and disappears.  I have to double-click again and it comes up stays and I can do the whois.

Then sometimes the console does not receive keyboard input.  I shake my desktop around a little bit spit left roll my eyes and it starts to receive input and I can logout.

Is there a shelflife to Cygwin?  Seems so here.
