You did, apparently. However, I can not reproduce this problem. I
created a setup which also starts cygserver automatically at boot time
and I added a `set CYGWIN=server' to my cygwin.bat file. When I now
start my shell, I get exactly 0 event entries, as expected.
Is there anything special on your machine? Does it already happen when
just starting a shell in a console window or what do you mean when you
say "I start Cygwin"? I'm always slightly puzzled by this expression,
given that Cygwin is just a DLL which usually don't get "started".
