Off-hand, I would suspect that the newer Cygwin has code that tries to
access a network resource (perhaps because you have a "//name" in your
$PATH, or perhaps because of local vs. network username), and that the
process hangs waiting for the resource to time out when you have the
cable plugged in (or even has a bug that causes an inf-loop), but
quickly falls back to something that works when the network is not
present. Corinna will have more ideas about how to test which particular
network call is hanging, as well as being more familiar with recent
changes in network username validation, for ideas on better debugging this.
