I had to add quotes around $f in lines 42 and 43 of /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh before cygwin would successfully start up a tcsh window. The problem occurs if one has $HOME elements with spaces in them. You get a message about invalid "if" syntax.

    38 if ($?_complete) then
    39     set noglob
    40     if ( ! $?hosts ) set hosts
    41     foreach f ("$HOME/.hosts" /usr/local/etc/csh.hosts "$HOME/.rhosts" /etc/hosts.
quiv)
    42         if ( -r "$f" ) then
    43             set hosts = ($hosts `grep -v "+" "$f" | grep -E -v "^#" | tr -s " " "
     " | cut -f 1`)
    44         endif
    45     end


This problem comes up periodically with various /etc/profile.d files. I just updated cygwin yesterday and encountered it again here. Hope this helps get a fix deployed...
