Here's an easily reproducible problem with the 2011-12-05 cygwin1.dll snapshot: 1. Download cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 . 2. Start mintty from the Cygwin Terminal shortcut. 3. tar -C/ -xf /path/to/cygwin-inst-20111205.tar.bz2 --exclude=usr/bin/cygwin1.dll An hourglass appears and tar doesn't run. I'm on W7-64 if that makes a difference.
