Thanks for the report.

That's not really a problem but a case of "it is as it is".  To get the
user and group info, Cygwin has to contact the DC and/or GC and then
runs into a timeout.  Right now, the LDAP timeout is set to 3 seconds.
I don't know yet if it's such a bright idea to lower this timeout value.
