No, I think the problem occurs when a function using the memory is called.
It works if the printf()-statement is deleted from the DLL. In this case,
the DLL only performs one add. The same thing happens even if there isn't
any arguments passed to the function.

I think the problem resides in the cygwin1.dll. Maybe there is an
initialization call missing in the DLL when the DLL is called from a MC++
compiled program? If the DLL is called from a cygwin-compiled code, it
works. Is this case, the cygwin1.dll is already initialized by the calling
program.
