These are all good things to try, IMO, and certainly good things to mention
if you're looking to this list for some help.  But I still have to reiterate
that without the cygcheck output *attached* to your request as well as a
recipe to reproduce the problem you're seeing, as requested by the link I
pointed you to above, only someone reading this list and having a very
similar problem is going to be able to respond with anything even remotely
helpful here.  That's not terrible and if that's all you're looking for
then you needn't give my response any further consideration.  But I just
wanted to point out that you are limiting your pool of potential useful
responders by quite a bit if you forego providing specific details of your
problem.
