I find that I can start cygwin bash but if I try to ls (for

I want cygwin mainly for X but I need to solve this first, of course.
So you're saying that you're starting bash from an xterm or similar
X proggie? If so, is this not just an instance of this?

Er... no.
I am not starting it from X - just from the Cygwin icon.
I can type ls - it appears at the prompt - but there is no output, no
returned prompt,
nothing then happens for a while and then the Cygwin bash window closes.
The bit you quoted is just the result of the bit you didn't.
