I'm beginning to think I need to remove and reinstall every cygwin
package, but I'm not certain that will fix it either. I've already
reinstalled both coreutils and cygwin itself. I've even tried rolling
both back a few releases, but I get the same problem. This is very
strange.
Look for the usual suspects of problem software - firewalls, virus
checkers,
spyware/anti-spyware.
Nothing has changed. I did a virus scan and spyware scan too. The virus
scan was completely clearn. The spyware scan picked up the usual
tracking cookies but nothing really bad.
The only other thing I can think of that's new is that Daemontools
virtual cd drive software. I've since removed it but it has not cleared
up the problem.
Actually, I was suggesting that your firewall, virus checker, and/or
spyware software may be interfering. While your symptoms are not typical
of these kinds of buggy software, it is a known fact that they can interfere
with Cygwin in undesirable ways. To be sure they are not interfering,
you must uninstall them. Turning the "off" is not enough.
