Ok, I have attached an strace output of a ls command started from tcsh,
started in console window with CYGWIN="tty binmode ntea nontsec".
The return of the shell prompt was delayed by around 10 secs.

Both, bash and tcsh, have a very long delay (>10 secs) until the first prompt
appears. On further non-interactive commands, bash has no delay in prompting,
tcsh has a variation in reprompting between 0 and 20 secs. Starting vi in
both shells result in hanging processes in this window. If I try to kill
vi and then bash from another window it works fine. If I try to kill bash
first, the text 'waiting for children using ttyX to terminate' appears in
the window and the processor is 100% busy until vi is killed, too.

The second strace is of `man man' in tcsh, CYGWIN="notty binmode ntea nontsec".
I got the following message:

	strace: couldn't get message length from subprocess 112<00000028>,
	windows error 6

No other output from man is generated when it is straced.

The complete description is true for winsup-990805 as well as for winsup-990806
including p.gz and patched ntsec patch 10.

Hope, this helps,
Corinna
