I tried setting error_start as explained in 
winsup/cygwin/how-to-debug-cygwin.txt. However, gdb doesn't pop up when 
this error occurs. All I get is the same error message as before. I'm 
going to try Pierre's patch next.

Another data point: This error doesn't occur when I start cygpath, 
cygstart or gdb from the win2k cmd command prompt. It only occurs when I 
run these programs from bash or sh.
