2. When invoking python, I don't get the python's prompt back:

$ which python
/usr/bin/python
datod_000@Q9450 ~/sandbox
$ python
It basically just hangs there. I have to ^C to get the shell prompt back.
I've run python without seeing such problems.
Outgoing scp completes the transfer but requires follow-up by ctrl-C or
it will require closing the shell. Incoming scp doesn't exhibit this
problem.
Delays in returning to shell prompt after running a .exe built under
cygwin (thus requiring several cygwin dlls) seemed to be caused partly
by spyware and anti-spyware activity. Win8.x seems to be spyware
playground (some of that came pre-installed by Acer).
