I've applied a patch to Cygwin which should workaround what appears to
be a compatibility bug in WOW64 on Vista 64.  If you want details, see
the huge comment in the sources, file dcrt0.cc, get_cygwin_startup_info().

Please try the latest snapshot DLL from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

Note that this snapshot will show weird directory related behaviour when
trying to run tclsh, gdb -w resp. insight, or strace.  This is the
result of another change and has nothing to do with Vista 64.
