OK, if you want more output change the first line to "@echo on", and while =
you
are there why not put "--verbose --debug" parameters to bash.

Change to $HOME?  it should have started on $HOME, was it somewhere else?

Never seen something like that.

Only questions: your cygcheck output said the PC has 4 processors, is it 2 =
with
hyper-threading or really 4?  Some people have reported unusual errors with
hyper-threaded CPUs, most problems where solved some time ago but you should
search the list just to make sure.

Perhaps you can get out something interesting with the --debug parameter to=
 bash.
