It did not work. I am not using Zonelabs, I am using McAfee. remounting
/tmp did not work either.
Mayn personal firewalls and virus scanners alter the behaviour of the
windows
sockets. Because of the difficulty of the fork emulation the cygwin library
relies on the standard bahaviour of the windows TCP/IP stack and may fail
if it is changed unless someon who notices such problems starts to track
the
problem down.
Playing around I discovered that setxkbmap.exe hangs with the same
symptoms. The task manager shows sh.exe with 99% activity over minutes
(until you stop it)
If you don't need a non-us keyboard layout, you can disable the XKB
extension
and xkbcomp by adding the -kb parameter to the XWin commandline.
