Have you seen <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00931.html> (my
previous reply)?  If you run "cygwin.bat" from a CMD shell, do you get any
messages?

"Crashed" as in BSOD?  What is the exact error (you may need to enable
BSODs for this or look in the Windows Event log).

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This should be 'post-texmf.sh' and 'post-texmf.sh.done'...  But that file
will be recreated every time you reinstall tetex-base or tetex-tiny.
