If you're running strace from a bash shell and you have mounted the bin
directory containing it with '-X', then you need to mount the strace program
itself as:

mount -x x:\cygwin\bin\strace.exe /bin/strace.exe
mount -x x:\cygwin\bin\strace.exe /bin/strace

Otherwise cygwin will use the new method for passing arguments to strace
which strace is not aware of.

I really do believe that something is using CPU and that bash exits.

I can't duplicate it but I believe it.

Can you send cygcheck output so that I can try to duplicate your
environment?
