Windows 7, Cygwin [1.7] latest snapshot 20091012.
Comparing two large subdirectories with diff leads to error msg.
Output from cygcheck -srv attached.

Any ideas? Unfortunately this error is intermittent. Sometimes (usually,
actually) I can perform the identical comparison without any obvious
glitches. It may be another (or related) manifestation of a bad
interplay between W7, Cygwin and McAfee in the workplace, previously
reported.
(See in particular http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/msg00385.html.
This is really ruining my Cygwin experience. Needless to say, merely
offering this as a hypothesis - that McAfee is to blame - to local IT
chieftains, went down pretty badly.)
