  Yes, me:

dk@mace /artimi> cygcheck -c tetex
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
tetex                3.0.0-2        OK
dk@mace /artimi>


  It isn't crashing.  The tetex post-install takes a *bizarrely* huge amount
of time to complete, but it gets there in the end.  Re-run setup as before,
and this time leave it more than 30 minutes.  Go out for the evening or
something.

    cheers,
