I have observed the behavior you describe, with cmd.exe locking up when I 
logout of cygwin, and only in the terminal that started keychain.  However, 
I do not have any spaces in my $HOME.  I applied the patch, but I am still 
encountering this problem.

Any other suggestions as to what would cause this problem?  I just updated 
all my Cygwin packages this morning, and run Windows XP Home.

Thanks,
Chris
