You didn't reply to my suggestions. But, anyway. Due to the nice
report in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-02/msg00511.html I now
came up with a new Cygwin test release 1.7.35-0.3, see
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-02/msg00133.html
Can you please try this test version without cygserver, and with
the passwd and group settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf set to
passwd: db
group: db
It would be very interesting to know if this improves the situation for
you.
Thanks,
Corinna
