I tried all the permutations of those actions. Nothing.

Ok, I was aware of that, so I asked it under the assumption of the
environment vars being identical.

Symantec Antivirus Server. No spyware found with Spybot. I'm not really
expecting any of this, but as the server runs an IMail server, an OpenSSH
server, IIS with a lot of ASP.NET apps and Python, it's not too hard to get
something out of order. It happened to me only once though before only a
restart could solve a problem.

Found: C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
C:/cygwin/bin/ls.exe
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
  C:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-3.dll
    C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll

I have now returned to an old OpenSSH for Windows (setupssh371-20031015.exe)
which works like a charm. I'd rather not have it this way, but I have no
choice for the moment.

Another final thought: imho, the problem is probably caused by some
cygwin1.dll change between 1.5.4 and 1.5.11. The latter is the oldest
version that I tried that wouldn't work. Now I'm running 1.5.4 and all is
fine.
