Well, nothing works indeed :-!
The executables in cygwin/bin fall into those categories:
(a) Print nothing and hang, e.g.:
D:\bin\cygwin\bin>.\ls
D:\bin\cygwin\bin>.\bash.exe
D:\bin\cygwin\bin>.\sort --help
(b) Print nothing and return immediately, e.g.
D:\bin\cygwin\bin>.\less.exe --help
D:\bin\cygwin\bin>cygcheck.exe
(c) tcsh is in its own class: crashes trying to write some forbidden memory.
All these seem to work on other machines both from bash and DOS. Mistery!
