Yes... but I don't think that this can be caused by setup. It's used by many many people without problems. Coupled with your other problems, I can only believe that your problem is deeper than Cygwin goes. I'd try a full reinstall of Cygwin. If you have no luck with that... then it is nothing to do with Cygwin - maybe time to reinstall Windows? > Since the only thing I have done of late with my copy of cygwin is > keep the packages updated and update my sources and occasionally > recompile, I have a feeling that there might be something in setup > turning of the read only flag and not turning it back on which seems > to be breaking the link. No, can't think of any way setup could do that. > Just a thought.

Its looking like some weird condition unique to your system. Max.
