Not sure I understand exactly what you mean.

Sorry I meant to attach cygcheck output. Find it now - it has been
'cleaned-up' to remove personal info - replaced by '<EDITED>'

I started a cmd.exe console. cd-ed to C:\cygwin\bin and ran:
.\strace.exe man.exe ls > strace-man-ls.out 2>&1

I have also attached the strace output - which is also edited as
described above. Let me know if you want other info, I'd really like
to solve this problem. Thanks again.
