Do a google for Embassy Trust Suite cygwin and revel in all the reports of problems with cygwin with that thing installed. See for example Dave Korn at: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-05/msg00132.html or this on: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-talk/2007-q1/msg00270.html http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-05/msg00856.html so I'm pretty sure that's it. Ahh, the joys of Windows. Btw, did you ever test the msys version of git http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ since I suspect that it's likely to not just be faster, but also more robust, since there is a much thinner layer between git and windows (and thus hopefully many fewer complex dependencies that can go wrong).
