OTOH, by sending strace output, you can bask in the knowledge that
you've done "something technical" and, so, therefore, are actually
helping in a constructive way rather than just complaining.

You'll be even more helpful if you inspect the output and trim away all
of the stuff you know is unneeded even though the whole reason you're
sending the strace output is that you don't know cygwin well enough to
fix the problem and so, therefore, your attempt to trim the output is
likely to trim away useful bits...
