I did that. My .zshrc is *exactly* the same on this host and on my
Gentoo Linux where everything is fine.

I tried to narrow the problem by deleting

* /etc/zprofile
* /etc/profile.d/zshell.zsh
* ~/.zshenv
* ~/.zprofile
* ~/.zlogout
* ~/.zlogin

and everything in .zshrc except "setopt correct correctall". It's
those two options that make zsh hang. I even unset all environment
variables inherited from Windows. No change.

If you have any hint how to find the problem I'd be glad to assist
(strace). By the way - I freshly installed Cygwin on this box and the
Windows installation (Windows XP SP1) is two months old. I deactived
my PF (Kerio - newest version) and even detached from my NetWare. Even
the Novell Client is the latest one. And locate shows only one
cygwin1.dll
