I did nearly exactly this with the exception that I didn't do it from
the LW directory and it either hangs for ever (with an unpatched
image), or gives up with a fatal recursive stack overflow (with an
image with my hacks in).

It probably depends on the windows installation and cygwin
version. Microsoft employ several hundred people whose task is to
ensure that every instance of windows has significant differences from
every other (not every release, every install).  (This is what
passport is all about BTW: by having a central registry of installs
they can eliminate the possibility of any two systems behaving the
same). I'm using 2000 SP2 with a recent security cluster.
