Do you have the same problem with Cygwin 32 bits? How about with the current Cygwin package (1.7.28) with either 32 bits or 64? I had no problem running this on 32-bits from W7 x64 with 1.7.28.
___________________ I still have the same problem when updating to cygwin64 to 1.7.28: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 x86_64 Cygwin I just installed cygwin32 and it works as expected (I have not seen any problems yet) CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 i686 Cygwin I am not sure if the is relevant but the "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" I have been using is a 32 bit executable as reported by cygwin: $ file cmd.exe cmd.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows I am not sure if this is an alternative and I don't have any alternatives other than "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" which is also reported as 32 bit.
