I have tried cygwin1-20100820.dll.bz2 and cygwin-inst-20100820.tar.bz2,
but it is even worse: Cygwin.bat DOES NOT start at all and Windows
complains with a message like this:
...Cannot find entry point CreateProcessAsUserW in KERNEL32.DLL...
So I have tried with the DLL suggested by Corinna in [*]: Cygwin.bat
starts, but it shows the same problems I am flagging.
Ciao,
Angelo.

The problem is, there *is* an entry point CreateProcessAsUserW in the
Win32 DLL kernel32.dll.
At least on NT-based systems. What strikes me as weird is that
kernel32.dll usually is stored with its name in all lowercase letters on
NT-based systems. The fact that you see an all uppercase KERNEL32.DLL
looks like you have such a DLL in your path, possible from Windows
95/98/Me, possibly installed by some third party stuff, at some point
which is found earlier in the DLL search path than the lowercase
kernel32.dll in C:\Windows\System32.

Oh, and, the call to CreateProcessAsUserW in cygwin1.dll is *old*, as in
"May 2008". The former call to CreateProcessAsUserA is in Cygwin for
over 10 years. However, just to be sure I installed the cygwin1-20100820
snapshot DLL on my W7 box and it works fine. This is quite certainly a
local problem.
Btw., after downloading cygwin1-20100820.dll.bz2 and bunzipping it, did
you make sure the executable bits are set (chmod +x cygwin1-20100820.dll)?

Am I indiscreet if I ask you what AV are you using? Just a curiosity...
Anyway thanks for clarification.

I can't reproduce such a problem and I don't have AVG9 (virus scanner?).
The effect is unfortunate, but the only important thing which has
changed in 1.7.6 in terms of readdir and stat is the fact that the code
tries to reduce the number of NtCreateFile/NtOpenFile calls by reusing a
handle already opened on the file or directory before. I don't know
what Cygwin can do about it, other than dropping the speedup entirely.
Always assuming this is the real cause. There's no good reason that
AVG9 hangs on anything Cygwin opens at all. There are only *very* few
cases in which a handle is opened without allowing to share the file,
and if so, it's never doing that for longer than the respective function
call.

Obviously, it is the first thing I thought and checked. To summarize, I
did the following:
wget http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin1-20100820.dll.bz2
bunzip2 cygwin1-20100820.dll.bz2
chmod +x cygwin1-20100820.dll
and the same for 20100814, 20100816, 20100818 snapshots, and for the DLL
you propose here
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00630.html
Then from a DOS box (but also with Explorer)
cd \cygwin-2\bin
rename cygwin1.dll cygwin1.dll.orig
copy ..\tmp\cygwin1-20100814.dll cygwin1.dll
...
With 20100814, 20100816, 20100818 snapshots and newer-cygwin1.dll,
Cygwin.bat starts and works.
With 20100820 snapshot Cygwin.bat does not start and Windows says
(literally):
"Impossibile trovare il punto d'ingresso CreateProcessAsUserW della
procedura nella libreria di collegamento dinamico KERNEL32.dll"
which Google translates as
"Can not find entry point CreateProcessAsUserW procedure in the dynamic
link library KERNEL32.dll"
As you can see a mystery...

Really the Windows messages says 'KERNEL32.dll' with 'dll' in lowercase,
and beside this, searching ('all directories visible') 'kernl32', I find
this:

I have a directory (500MB, 30 files) which contains mainly 'exe' (setups
for TB, FF, OO etc.). If I try 'ls -l' in this directory, the first time
it take about 30 seconds to list the files. After the first time, the
listing is almost without delay. The same happens also with 'ls -l
/usr/bin'.
When there is the 'hang' (30 secs.), Task Manager shows that AVG9 takes
about 50% of CPU: this occurs *only* with 1.7.6 but _not_ with 1.7.5,
with which 'ls -l' is almost immediate, regardless of the number and
type of files.
Obviously I have tested this, each time, with a 'fresh machine', to
avoid 'cache' effects.
The system is WinXP SP3, AMD Athlon 64X2DC 2.03GHz, 1.75GB RAM.
Ciao,
Angelo.

Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released 1.7.6-1. This release fixes a bunch of bugs, and
introduces a few new features. It also contains a change which will
affect calling native Win32 API functions from Cygwin applications.
I would like to urge you to have another look into the documentation
at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html. It contains
a couple of improvements and the description for new features and
changes from old behaviour.
What's new since Cygwin 1.7.5:
==============================
- Add new mount options "dos" and "ihash" to allow overriding Cygwin
default behaviour on broken filesystems not recognized by Cygwin.
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
and http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount
- Add new mount option "bind" to allow remounting parts of the POSIX file
hirarchy somewhere else.
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
and http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount
- Ttys and ptys are handled as securable objects using file-like
permissions and owner/group information. chmod and chown now work on
ttys/ptys. A new mechanism is used to propagate pty handles safely to
other processes, which does not require to use Cygserver.
- Pass on coresize settings made with setrlimit(2). This allows
shells to disable creating stackdump files in child processes via
`ulimit -c 0' in bash or `limit coredumpsize 0' in tcsh.
- Locale categories contain all localization strings additionally as
wide-char strings. locale(1) prints these values just as on Linux.
nl_langinfo(3) allows to fetch them. See file:///usr/include/langinfo.h
- New interfaces mkostemp(3) and mkostemps(3).
See file:///usr/include/stdlib.h
- New virtual file /proc/filesystems.
- clock_gettime(3) and clock_getres(3) accept CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
- Several small additions to header files.
What changed since Cygwin 1.7.5:
================================
- Cygwin handles the current working directory entirely on its own. The
Win32 current working directory is set to an invalid path to be out of
the way. This affects calls to the Win32 file API (CreateFile, etc.).
See http://cygwin.com/htdocs/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-win32-api
- Change the way a process is made process group leader in case we're
started from a non-Cygwin process. This isn't foolproof and may need
more work.
- Workaround a BLODA problem in rename(2) which otherwise results in
annoying errors.
- Add more workarounds for broken filesystems which either don't grok
reopening a file by handle (NWFS) or which are not capable of handling
filenames with leading spaces or trailing dots or spaces (NWFS,
Netapp).
- Don't try to evaluate reparse points (junctions) on remote filesystems
as symlinks.
- Improve performance of stat and a few other functions. ls(1) should
be up to 30% faster on some drives.
- Speed up signal delivery slightly.
