This is obviously not normal.  Do you press "Cancel" to interrupt it?

This, however, is.  That's the mechanism setup uses to get the script
output into its log.

Not really -- there isn't enough information in your report.  Please read
and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the part about attaching (as
an uncompressed text attachment) the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your
system.

I suspect you may have a problem with /bin/sh, but the cygcheck output
should show that.
