I checked against the BLODA at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda

Windows Defender is not used, my AntiVirus is not on the list and does  
not seem to have
an impact.

In the mean time I was able to start "top" twice, out of some dozen  
shots. So the issue
seems to be somehow random with a 95% capability of failure.

After a failed start of "top" I also get segfaults when opening a new  
"xterm" window.

Is there a way to investigate whether a unknown BLODA-app or something  
else causes the
problem?
