Hi -

I've got the version 1.5.23 of cygwin (downloaded from 
http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/cygwin ) and I'm trying to 
update my installation. The older setup executable (setup.exe) that I 
have recommends that I download a new version if I have trouble 
installing -- which happens to be the case. The installer stops running 
after a few seconds and appears to hang (no page faults), while 
mcshield.exe takes 100% of the CPU.

So I download the new setup.exe, and I try running it, but again 
mcshield.exe seizes the CPU :(

I've searched the net and found what looks like a workaround (here 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-04/msg00657.html) but I would like 
to know if there is a better solution.

Thanks,

- Olumide
