Right, here's whats happening: SYSTEM doesn't belong to any network groups - it's local only, but Cygwin is trying to find out it's network data - such as the home domain. Cygwin spawned/forked/execed process's can inherit that data in the cygwin heap IIRC. Which is why no delay is seen - it's been optimised away. But there would be a 30 second delay firing up bash. As for why the 30 second delay in the first place, what's your system config: Are you a member of a win2k AD or an NT4 domain? Are you running NBT? Are you running NTLM? Are you running the Server process? Are you running the workstation process?
