"there's nothing to cause the rot"
The rot tends to set in as I install packages to Cygwin; the more I add, the slower and less stable Cygwin seems to become, to the point of taking tens of seconds to reach a prompt after opening. Make of that what you will.
"Also some antivirus programs can trip up Cygwin"
That could well be a contributing factor in my case.

- EvilTerran 14y agoNo, I didn't -- good spot, thank you. I haven't bothered re-installing cygwin since the last nuke-and-pave, but I'll bear that in mind if I do and it's still relevant.
