I suppose that bug comes from parsing setup.ini because of cygwin hangs on such stage. You can find more details by following previously described steps. >> How to reproduce the problem: >> 1.

Append the addition to setup.ini (from the bottom of letter; in my >> setup.ini it holds from 173244 line) >> 3. Compress one with setup >> 4.
