Actually, I was suggesting that your firewall, virus checker, and/or
spyware software may be interfering.  While your symptoms are not typical
of these kinds of buggy software, it is a known fact that they can interfere
with Cygwin in undesirable ways.  To be sure they are not interfering,
you must uninstall them.  Turning the "off" is not enough.
