(This letter is cc to support@nai.com because it's really their problem)
Accessing the cygwin "minwc10.dll" in any way hangs windows 2000
if you have netshield running (just as it hangs NT or windows 98
if you have McAfee virusscan running).
Work-Around: If you bring up the console and select the 'exclusions'
tab,
you can exclude files of this name. Just reading the file into memory,
either
from the install .zip or later from disk (e.g to copy a directory)
causes
mcafee to consume all processing resources, and hang the system.
The cygwin FAQ mentions something about shared memory, but this isn't
the problem. The problem is that mcafee doesn't like the look of this
tiny
little file, and flips out.
