Re: uid is 0 on first open of cygwin window, nonzero next time

When I open a cygwin window for the first time (that is, when no other cygwin window is open), uid and group are 0 (superuser/root; however username is correctly mentioned). Upon subsequent opens (without closing the first), a reasonable uid is set (1004). This is with latest cygwin, bash shell, on windows 7. What might be the problem?

Not sure. How would one attempt to reproduce the behavior you're seeing? Can you provide cygcheck output as requested by the problem reporting link below?
