Nope, but I have an experiment to suggest: what happens if you start up a DOS
shell, and try running the batch file from a different directory to the one
where it lives under DOS? If it still goes wrong, your batch file (or perhaps
some makefile it invokes) has a bug; if it works, there's something cyg-weird
going on.
