I believe I have figured out how to reproduce this problem. It seems to be caused by accessing an nfs server before running cygwin.bat to run bash. But in case that's not enough information, I'll give a complete sequence. Here's a cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out: http://old.nabble.com/file/p34037768/cygcheck.out cygcheck.out First, install the cygwin nfs server.
