  OK, I think we've found your problem.  You've got a years-old version of the
cygwin dll in the windows system directory and it's almost certainly clashing
with the up-to-date one and causing your programs to crash.  Get rid of it and
hopefully everything should "just work (TM)"!

  Also, your /etc/groups file isn't up-to-date:

-----------------<quote>-----------------
Output from H:\windows\bin\id.exe (nontsec)
UID: 13004(gsohler)     GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
545(Users)              10545(mkgroup-l-d)

Output from H:\windows\bin\id.exe (ntsec)
UID: 13004(gsohler)     GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)
545(Users)              10545(mkgroup-l-d)
-----------------<quote>-----------------

  Also, your mount entries are messed up:

-----------------<quote>-----------------
Warning: Mount entries should not have a trailing (back)slash

H:\windows\      /          user    binmode
H:\windows\/bin  /usr/bin   user    binmode
H:\windows\/lib  /usr/lib   user    binmode
.                /cygdrive  user    binmode,cygdrive
-----------------<quote>-----------------

  Those are supposed to be win32 paths, and they're not supposed to used mixed
slashes like that.  You could fix them by running

mount -u -b H:\\windows /
mount -u -b H:\\windows\\bin /usr/bin
mount -u -b H:\\windows\\lib /usr/lib

in a bash prompt.

  However, the second two things are probably minor; it's the clashing DLL
that is almost certainly the real source of your troubles.

    cheers,
      DaveK
