Bloda? (http://www.cygwin.com/acronyms/) I reported the exact same
behaviour (with a test script that reproduces the same behaviour even
without Cygwin) for Avira Antivir last year:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00691.html. They (Avira) did
an update afterwards which reduced the chances for this behaviour, but
the latest version is as bad as the one back then.

Regards,
Spiro.
