I'm on a fresh re-install of Win2k which still has IE 5 on it... I've
applied no patches at all... Windows update scares me more than the cygwin
one does ;)
Actually, the problem was solved for me by cleaning out and trashing my
entire cygwin folder + package cache and reinstalling everything from
scratch. Fortunately, my ISP happens to be a mirror. Now I just have to
spend the next week reconfiguring everything back to the way I like it ;)

> I've tried the "extreme patience" suggestion. After 2 hours of
installing, Setup was still on a2ps, and total memory usage had reached
~2GB, although setup.exe was only admitting to being responsible for ~14MB
of it. I think we can conclude that this hasn't worked. Next, I'll give
the "latest sparkly version of Setup" suggestion a try.

this first arise just after installing Microsoft's cumulative patch for IE6
service pack 1? This, and maybe a couple of other MS patches, are the only
things I can think of that changed on my system, between Setup working and
not working.
