Unfortunately, this is not the problem. There are only directories on
my local hard disk in $PATH. However, the output of "set" also includes
variables

!0:=0:/home4/jakobus/LAPACK_3.0/BLAS/SRC/
!A:='A:\'
!D:='D:\cygnus\cygwin-1.1.0\lib\gcc-lib\i686-pc-cygwin\2.95.2'
!E:='E:\zip'
!\:='\\Ihfbdc\Netzsoftware\FEKO_update'

and indeed the "!\:" refers to a network directory. Can this be the
reason? However, this is set only inside bash, not before in my
DOS shell, from where I start bash (I do observe the long delays
only when executing CYGNUS commands from within a DOS window, not
when running them from within BASH).

I also tried to remove other environment variables that might 
indicate a network connection, such as LOGONSERVER and USERDOMAIN,
but also no effect with this.
