1.5.25: Intermittent hangs or network issues

[Jim Marshall]

I was using a previous version of cygwin (sorry don't know the version, 
but I think it was last updated summer 2008?) without any issues. About 
a month ago I ran cygwin setup to update my version to the latest. I did 
have some issues with X, but I was able to remedy them by searching the 
list and google.

Ever since that install I get random network connectivity issues (or 
hangs) using SSH and cvs. Basically I issue a ssh command and sometimes 
it will just sit there forever and I need to manually kill it (kill -9), 
ctrl-c will not work. It seems to only happen to apps that access the 
network (ssh & cvs. xemacs, ls are not affected). I do not think it is a 
network issue as when ssh 'hangs' I can use putty without issue (and 
when cvs 'hangs' I can use wincvs with no problem). Typically what 
happens is I start cygwin and I can use ssh or cvs the first time. After 
that it seems to be a 30% chance of working. Sometimes doing it over and 
over it will eventually work.

I do not have any firewall software running, and I am using the free 
version of AVG anti-virus.

Any thoughts on what might be happening or what I can do to debug this 
further?

Thank you
Jim
