Hi all,

before I reinstall my computer, I'd like to get your advice to what may 
cause
a strange behavior in cygwin bash. I have not found any hints in the 
archives
so as a last resort perhaps someone reading this knows what is going on.
I run a computer with Vista Ultimate x64 and I have successfully been using
cygwin until three month ago. A that point all command issued in my bash 
shell
created errors like this (here ls causes bash to crash)

so I downloaded the beta version 1.7 and tried. Bash does not crash but 
stdio
is void, for example issuing ls produce a flickering vista prompt (circle at 
the
mouse pointer position)  but no output in bash? I use Bitdefender as 
firewall but
the problem do not go away by disabling it. However when I run cygcheck it
produces output in bash? For example

bash-3.2$ cygcheck  ls
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\Windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-8.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll

and

bash-3.2$ cygcheck cygcheck
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck.exe
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck.exe
  C:\Windows\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
    C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\KERNEL32.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll
      C:\Windows\system32\Secur32.dll
  C:\Windows\system32\USER32.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\GDI32.dll
  C:\Windows\system32\msvcrt.dll


In case any of you recognize this please let me know, I feel crippled 
without
my cygwin!


/Ulf
