Indeed we do run a virus scanner, McAfee VirusScan
Enterprise. However I can't turn it off by policy. In fact, we run a
desktop environment where there are a small number of actions limited
by policy. But nothing I have encountered so far that is overly
restrictive.

The virus scanner has an extensive access log. It doesn't list
anything with regards to my Cygwin activities that might account for
the problem. But you never know. I might ask our desktop admin
tomorrow if they'll allow me to disable the scanner briefly to test.

Yes, unfortunately I am not set up at the moment to build dlls, so
I'll eagerly await the next snapshot.

Thanks for all your help in getting this far.
