The expect script listed earlier in this thread is failing
for me again, with the 1/7/2006 snapshot. It does not hang though - will
post details later.

I wonder if the snapshot fix related to:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00183.html 
may account for this? I'm grateful for the fix above (*really*), but
could it have resurrected the expect script problem? - admittedly a WAG.

  Sorry, I'm "out of the loop"; have not been following the
  cygwin mailing list for about a week.. 

When I get time, I will post simple log of the failing expect script test case.
