I can confirm that this is _not_ specific to Windows XP. On a different
virtualbox image I am getting the same errors. It seems that the problem is
related to the use of fork() in cygwin, which is very fragile.
I am considering various possibilities. The obvious one is to reuse the code
in RUN-PROGRAM that we already have for Windows/Mingw+MSVC in the Cygwin
builds. I am not sure how easy this is -- still investigating.
