I was wrong in assuming this was a cygwin base problem. It must be a
cygwin-xfree problem. I have no problems I can see in a cygwin console
window, only in an xterm (or rxvt) window running under
XWin -unixkill -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiwindow -silent-dup-error &

I cannot determine why, but with the new Cygwin base I just installed,
a utility I have used for quite a few years, dired
[http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/file-tools.html#dired], now
freezes my window. A `top` shows that CPU usage quickly climbs to
maximum values.
I have to guess that other utilities will have similar problems.
Thanks.
