No one answered this back in Feb that I could tell. I am seeing a 
possibly related or similar problem. I am trying to build a large shall 
script based project under cygwin called RTEMS. It has been reported 
that anti-virus can somehow affect the build and cause almost random 
errors. I can't disable my a.v. since it requires a secret p/w. Could 
this really be the problem?
