exact same result as described in the original post
yes but you mentioned that the problem is only on the
removable drive so the two versions should be different
somewhere
;-)
To see if any program is injecting dll's on your system
you can also looks on /proc/self/maps
$ cat /proc/self/maps | awk '{print $6}' |sort -u
/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll
/c/WINDOWS/system32/locale.nls
/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll
/c/WINDOWS/system32/sortkey.nls
/c/WINDOWS/system32/sorttbls.nls
/c/WINDOWS/system32/unicode.nls
/usr/bin/cat.exe
/usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll
/usr/bin/cygintl-8.dll
/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
[cygwin-shared]
[cygwin-user-shared]
[heap]
[procinfo]

looks largely like your output, plus the stuff in square brackets at the
end
I skipped them as not relevant.
I forgot one question :
did your XP system ever worked with a cygwin installation ?
yes, I've been using it (at least) for the past five years largely
without any issues
I doubt latest cygwin changes broke XP, but may be it happens.
at the end of the day I can still work with it, as long as working
directory is on a fixed drive -
it's just a little annoying
anyway, many thanks for your help :)

you are welcome
