Well, if you could install the default installation, then you can read and
follow the problem reporting guidelines at:

<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>

You can also read the man page for 'strace'.  But essentially you want to
do a 'ps -ef' first, find the 'bash' process that's running 'sysvinit.sh'
and use the PID of that process as the <n> parameter below:

strace -o sysvinit.txt --pid=<n>

Tracing statements will go to the 'sysvinit.txt' file.  You can view this 
file and see if there's anything in there toward the end that looks 
"interesting" or like an error.  If so, send that excerpt of the file to 
the list if it does not already give you some idea of the problem.  The
output of 'ps -ef' may be helpful as well.
