I have similar experience. Examining the processes when the ./configure 
hangs reveals that hanging leaf seems to be always 'sed', running as a 
part of config.status script creating Makefiles etc.

I'm running XPPro, the same results were achieved when running configure 
inside xterm or inside FSFemacs (X version).

Attached is cygcheck output, but it was already running *after* I 
reverted to 20021209 snapshot. If someone needs cygcheck output with 
offending snapshot, pls let me know.

P.S.: Sorry for 'me too' type of post, butI think that this can be 
important..
