Have you considered the registry?  Installing Cygwin updates the
registry - it's where the mount points are recorded.  If your app
is using a POSIX-style path anywhere (eg /tmp/...) this would not
be found, and if your app is dependent on the text/binary mount
switches it would behave differently.

A quick check would be to temporarily rename your Cygnus Solutions
registry keys (in HKLM/Software and HKCU/Software), or else use
mount to experiment.
