That is the puzzling thing. It only happens when I am running cygwin or
babun and I can trigger it anytime just by doing ordinary scripting
things. I can easily reproduce the situation though I obviously try to
avoid that. The report script used to run twice daily during the day but
because it now runs for up to 3 hours and causes the situation at the
point where the joins are done I now run it at night so I can reboot my
system first thing in the morning. If I run it during the day I would
have to work with a slow system even after it completed so would need to
reboot. I now have it set to run at night so I can reboot first thing in
the morning.
Before getting up to the joins, I grab data off an ldap server and use
sqlcmd to get data from a sql server. I am getting data for 14 databases
and I do it concurrently and it appears to work fine. When it reaches
the joins, suddenly everything slows and becomes unstable. Another
script I have which I use to search flat files also runs in to a similar
situation though it doesn't use "join" and I haven't worked out which
line triggers it.
