Aye, it's a GPLed app. I didn't want to provide a URL to the app's page
unless asked, but if you want I certainly can, if it helps narrow the problem
down.

Hrm, next time I get a chance to sit down in the CS lab and hammer away at it
for a while (I currently only have a Linux box available to me without making
a trip across campus) I'll try strace. As the previous poster suggested, I
had already tried cygcheck, and all it spat back at me was SDL.dll,
cygwin1.dll, and a bunch of standard Windows DLLs. Perhaps there's a compiler
switch that I missed?

Aye, I've already considered this, I just ran out of time to work on it today...
