Just an idea, all of those are network tools, that means they depend on DNS
resolving, which may be slow if not set correctly.

Have you tried using numeric IP addresses?

That is very strange, Cygwin's programs respond to Ctrl-C fast.

Are you sure you are using the Cygwin program, for instance ssh, and not the
Microsoft program (of the same name)?

Good point and it needed to be tested, so that is out of the picture.

Repeating what I hinted to above, maybe running the program under gdb
you are specifying the whole path to the program, which is not the same as
letting the shell find it.  Try: `which ssh` to see which one is used.

Another test is to use ldd or cygcheck to take a look at the libraries 
loaded... if
they include anti-virus or other strange libraries, then that is interfering.

Also using strace could (probably will) show where everything stops.

Hello

I have also had the idea that this might be related to network application. I have tested with IP addresses so that is not an issue.

I have also checked that I am using the Cygwin application by providing the whole path.

I have also tried strace, but it bails out with an exception (c0000005) and then segmentation fault.

Attached you will find an output from:

cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
ldd /usr/bin/ssh-keygen.exe > ldd_ssh-keygen.out
strace /usr/bin/ssh-keygen.exe > strace_ssh-keygen.out

Hopefully someone can make something out of this.
PS I have also installed GitBash and the same problems appear there!!!!
