F-Secure anti-virus causes system crash when scanning the C:\cygwin directory.

I have a Cygwin (setup.exe version 2.194.2.15) full install on my Windows
2000 (SP2)
desktop and on my (W2000) laptop computers.  My anti-virus software is
F-Secure Anti-virus 5.22.

On both machines, if I run a "Scan all Hard Disks" I get a blue screen or a
spontaneous reboot while scanning the C:\cygwin directory.  Removing that
directory
eliminates the problem.

Is there anything special about the cygwin directory structure that might
cause this problem?  Any specific file which might cause this problem?

Thank you for your help.
