Glenn,

Please review

> Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

and follow the directions there to tell us about your system.  Also,
please attach /var/log/setup.log.full from a setup session where
postinstall scripts hung (note: that file is overwritten every time you
run setup, and you may need to kill the hung bash/sh processes in the task
manager to allow setup to complete).

P.S. "flaky" is a very vague description.  Concrete examples that would
allow others to reproduce the problem, along with the information from the
problem reporting guidelines above, would be much more helpful.
