One thing you might do is to have the /etc/profile.d sh-update-script 
delete itself once it's run satisfactorily.

I guess what got me on this was that there was a zombie /bin/sh process 
running during the cygwin update.  It might have been a little less 
nerve-wracking if there had been a visible message during the 
postinstall, instead of picking it up during the login.

Thanks,
Webb
