I thought it might be a problem with cygwin too so I rolled back the
cygwin kernel to version 1.5.23-1, and coreutils to 6.4-1. That didn't help.

I'm glad someone else is reporting this. Maybe there's a real problem here.

What hw/os is your colleague working on? Mine is a Dell D610 laptop,
Windows XP SP2 with all latest patches.
