Well if you're absolutely sure ZoneAlarm is configured in exactly the
same way on both systems, then looking at Cygwin may make some sense.
Or if you're convinced that Cygwin is the problem regardless, take the
new Cygwin DLL to the old system and try this out.  Stepping forward
slowly is easier than trying to back up, which I assume is what you
meant when you said you tried to back rev and it "didn't work".   That
should allow you to home in on where the problem starts for you and
point you to where you'd want to concentrate your efforts to resolve it.
