idle bash using 95% of system resources?

[ht at cogsci dot ed dot ac dot uk (Henry S. Thompson)]

I'm running netinstalled 1.1.4, including bash 2.04.0, under Win2K.

I've modified cygwin.bat as follows:

    C:
    chdir \cygwin\bin
    set CYGWIN=tty
    bash --login -i

After running for a fair while, I find that I lose performance across
the board, and that bash is the culprit:  although it's still working
OK, the Windows Task Manager shows 90--95% of CPU going to bash.

Anybody else seen this?

Any fixes/workarounds suggested?

Note I don't _think_ this is the same as the 'slow bash' problem, in
that it's not a "time to come back to bash prompt" problem, but a
permanent cycle-sucking one.

Thanks
