You aren't running an executable on cygwin at all. You are running a plain
old windows program.

The standard response at this point is ....

What you are writing is a plain old windows program. The error message
comes from the windows C runtime library MSVCRT. Whatever the source of the
problem is, it's nothing to do with cygwin and you'd probably be best off
getting advice from a windows/msvc/mingw programming list.
