OK, this makes me very suspicious that something is getting in your way.
'cygcheck -srv' should contain allot more information than that. And while
I might suspect Vista (though was always able to get valid output on the
Vista installation I used to have), I would never expect a problem getting
the complete output on XP unless something was interfering. Perhaps you're
experiencing the effects of <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>?
Ironically, if this is the problem, the cygcheck output is designed to
help spot this kind of problem...
