thanks to your help, i find now out whats problem.it seem not allowed to
change
in the cygwin.bat file the HOME dir.
here it is suggestet to do.also on other pages.so i first get not in mind,
that this is problem.

"""""
Using wordpad, create a .bat file for starting cygwin:
.....
SET HOME=C:\CYGWIN\HOME\KEATESM
SET CYGWIN=tty binmode
CD %HOME%
bash
"""""
Because i dont like HOME in my home dir on drive c, i add the line in
cygwin.bat
set HOME=E:\amiga\amidevcpp
I use the dir i install cygwin, and it is no windows homedir.
and when i remove this line in cygwin.bat , cygwin work always fast.but
because my etc dir is not there, i add in etc/profile a line export
HOME=e:/amiga/amidevcpp
then all work ok.i dont want now my hand modified passwd file and do
mkpasswd -l > etc/passwd
the passwd is create on correct place.
After bash restart, bash, mc etc all work fast now.
So i think its illegal to change the homedir on the bat file ?
in the etc/profile file i add the lines here.

+export HOME=e:/amiga/amidevcpp

Here is my unmodified passwd entry for my Gast account.this have no dots in
path.
Gast:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-BERND-LBZQ11NHW\Gast,S-1-5-21-484763869-1563985344-839522115-501:/cygdrive/c/Dokumente
