yes - again, not sure if this is your problem, but, the
postinstall-texmf.sh ends up generating a number of sh.exe processes and
a kepswich??? process, etc.  Look in your /etc/postinsall directory,
find the scripts that have not been moved to .done, and run them
manually one at a time til you find out which one is causing you the
problem -- then try to determine why that script is causing an issue.
