Mintty itself starts OK, but any Cygwin program that mintty starts (whether a shell or something else) just goes into a spinloop (Windows says it's mostly kernel time). Starting Cygwin through a console works and I can then run mintty from there without any problems. Funnily enough I can start strace inside mintty and it'll fire up a console window to run a shell in OK as well. The hung mintty often doesn't show up in the Cygwin processes when trying to find it from a previously started shell. Closing mintty with the mouse does not stop either the hung mintty nor the amok running process. Killing the spinning process from Windows will also kill the hung mintty. Now, that only happens on one machine and only for my user account (I have a seperate admin account that doesn't have the problem). One difference is that my Cygwin home directory is in my user profile for my normal account, but I haven't had time to investigate further.
