We recently upgraded to version 9 of Symantec's AntiVirus and now some (not all!) users are unable to use the Cygwin X server via the Windows AFS client.
On the 2 machines I have looked at, the afsd_service.exe process and "System" start chewing up all available CPU time and things run very slooooooooowly.
We tried turning off the anti-virus on one of the affected machines (XP and 1.3.71 I think) and the problem went away.
Anyone know anything about this?
