I usually call those files .profile, WFM

Might be related to your CYGWIN environment variable, or (digging in
swapped-out memory) the issues explained by Igor here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg01823.html
I also vaguely remember something about an environment variable needed
with Perl on some occasions, but there's a lot of clouds around that
part... (maybe someone else on the list can help you with that)

No idea there..

Other than the WAGs above, we'll probably need the two cygcheck files..
