As opposed to freeze-on-startup, I experience a
freeze-when-network-busy. More precisely, it is
freeze-after-network-busy, because even after the
network clog has cleared, cygwin/x remains frozen.
I am on wireless, and at times the bandwidth to my
laptop is reduced by traffic. I use a motif activity
intensive programme called SAS. When bandwidth gets
clogged, all cygwin/x windows comes to a standstill,
xterms and non-SAS windows as well. When clog is
cleared and bandwidth returns to 54Mbs, all of
cygwin/x remains frozen. I have end cygwin/x, lose
all my charts and code written to restart it.
An irrelevant thought to nibble:
I spell programme rather than program, not just
because of my origin, but also when spelt as
program, southerners like jimmy carter pronounce it
as "progrom" which sounds discomforting.

Subject: FIXED my freeze on startup problem
A few months ago I wrote asking for help with my freeze on startup
problem. I just now figured out what the problem was. I did some more
looking at the log files, and XWin was waiting for a hung sh process
that was doing something with keyboard maps. I found a post that
suggested adding a -kb to my XWin command line parameters, and that did
the trick! I just wanted to let you all know another possible cause for
the freezes on startup.
