I recently upgraded cygwin to the latest version and now I'm having Command's dynamic antivirus protection conflict with Cygwin so that it hangs whenever it encounters backticks in a shell script (e.g. /etc/profile). Configuring the antivirus to ignore c:\cygwin had no effect. If I disable dynamic virus protection, all is well.
Has anyone else encountered this? Has anything changed in how backticks are handled that might cause it to conflict with antivirus software? Just trying to get a handle on this to submit a bug report to Command Software. (Though I'm not holding my breath that they'll offer a solution other than to avoid cygwin.)
Thanks,

No one answered this back in Feb that I could tell. I am seeing a possibly related or similar problem. I am trying to build a large shall script based project under cygwin called RTEMS. It has been reported that anti-virus can somehow affect the build and cause almost random errors. I can't disable my a.v. since it requires a secret p/w. Could this really be the problem?
