Cygwin on XP disapearing terminal mystery

[Harry Putnam]

I've been running cygwin in a laptop running XP home.  It was working
as expected.  However its been a while since I used it and not sure
what all has happened that might effect cygwin... but can think of
nothing off hand.

However, now when I click the bash icon a terminal appears and just as
quickly disappears.  I can't use any cygwin tools since the terminal
just flashes once and is gone.

What on earth might cause such behavior?
