same as in the first trace. Right after startup of sh -c "xkbcomp ..."
it stops while waiting for some winsock operation to complete.

with -kb x start xkbcomp to generate the keymap. xkbcomp expects input
 on stdin but waits forever since ZoneAlarm 5 somehow interferes with 
pipes in cygwin.

I'll send this to cygwin@cygwin.com too since it's low level cygwin
