I checked the BLODA, but with only the following programs left
running, Cygwin is still getting killed:
$ ps -efW

A task list isn't terribly useful:
- It doesn't include system tasks (winlogon.exe and a pile of
svchost.exe being prominently absent)
- Some BLODA are services, which tend to run as threads within a process
rather than given their own
- BLODA are most often troublesome because they inject dlls dynamically
into other processes. I dont' know the mechanics, but I suspect it
involves black magic in the registry and doesn't require the BLODA to be
"running" at all (that's why an uninstall is usually needed to clean up
the mess).
- I don't know what all those processes are doing (freepopsd.exe (??),
rundll32 could do *anything*, etc.)
Finally, a virus scan is highly recommended if you're convinced there
are no normal BLODA around and still "something" kills your cygwin
prompts: viruses often hide themselves from the task list.
