FWIW, I've had many similar bad experiences with Trusteer Rapport. It
has nothing to do with Cygwin. It is a terrible buggy piece of software,

Thanks for the excellent summary of events. I too was wondering

I don't know why Chris's process isn't showing up, but I can
attest to the fact that all Windows processes, including those
associated with services *do* appear in the ps -W output, with
only two exceptions: the System Idle Process (PID #0) and the

I am resending the attached request as it still applies
to NcFTP 3.1.3. I am copying the Cygwin list, because
I've noticed a related bug in the current Cygwin version.
Consider an example with only the following two bookmarks:
RedHat Linux --> FTP.RedHat.Com
RedHat Updates --> Updates.RedHa
After posting this message, I finally found the explanation:

Another thing I would suggest is to look at the requirements
for ncftp in the setup.ini file. For 3.1.3-1, it indicates:
requires: cygwin libncurses5 libreadline5 terminfo less
The question is, why weren't these requirements met when you
installed ncftp? Did you use a current setup.exe insta
FYI, the following file is corrupt on mirrors.rcn.net:

It fails both the md5sum and the bzip2 tests, regardless
of whether I download it using the Cygwin setup program,
http, or ftp directly. It does appear to be okay on
