I don't know if it is related, but today I ran a scan with Kaspersky
Internet Security 2009, and it reported that a couple of files in the
cygwin directories were infected by Net_Worm.win32.sassor.be.
These were:
coreutils-6.7-1.tar.bzz
coreutils-6.7-2.tar.bzz
and more specifically:
coreutils-6.7-2//user/bin/gkill.exe
I'll post a new thread on this.

The install is a clean one without any significant Internet activity
that might lead to any third-party detection or downloads to my machine.
Is this behavior expected or have I picked up something nasty from setup?
