I took a look at the running services and it does seem to be any
Cygwin service running (and anyhow, I don't remember starting one).
Anyway, I did reboot, and then re-ran setup.exe, but it got stuck
running the postinstall/passwd-grp.sh script.
I attach setup.log.postinstallXa03940 which contains some errors that
seem related to this.
