When I run Cygwin on my WindowsXP machine, my firewall informs me of 
regedit activity, searching, and text manipulation.  I have not located 
the source of this activity.

The install is a clean one without any significant Internet activity 
that might lead to any third-party detection or downloads to my machine.

Is this behavior expected or have I picked up something nasty from setup?
